Hey, I’m Andy B 👋
I’m a data guy from Staffordshire in the UK. We have oatcakes in these parts, and they’re glorious.
What do I do? I’d call myself a data developer – using the term developer in the the sense of property:
🏠 Designing robust end-to-end solutions
👷♂️ Building reliable and repeatable components
🔨 Crafting effective and performant code
🪴 Renovate legacy and inefficient processes
🛠️ Diagnose and fix… inevitable issues 🪤
Outside of data, I’m fortunate to have a great network of friends and family around me. I enjoy getting out to explore new areas and poking around various National Trust locations. In my spare time I try to learn and blog in equal measure. I’m a lifelong gamer, and amateur DIY-er, and I listen to country music while I work.
Also, pizza is my happy place 🍕
So, why are we here? To share! The data community is a very generous and sharing group. I wanted to give back.
I don’t have the most experience. I don’t have the greatest technical depth. I’m not a natural writer or speaker. But I have things which I think are valuable or interest me, so I’m sharing them in my own way for anyone who it may benefit.
