I've been nights and weekending my website for the past 8 months or so. I can keep digging this hole infinitely (and I will), so to keep me from pushing the 'show people' part, here it is. It's a new home for the work that I do, let me show you around 🧵

New mini project! We've built a small explorer to visualize self-reported election affidavits from 2019 (and 2024 where available) and each MP's parliamentary activity. Go have a look for your own constituencies 👀 More data coming in future updates.

Hello! I'm graduating soon and I'd love to work in a newsroom (or similar environment) as a data journalist again. I meddle with data, web development, research and GIS on a daily basis, so if your graphics team is looking for someone with these skills, I'm raising my hand✋
