How it all
started

Programming started as a hobby for me โ€” tinkering with scripts, automating small things, figuring out how computers think. That curiosity turned into a full career. Python was the language that stuck, and over the years it became the tool I reach for in almost every problem I work on.

I founded PythonWare.com as a way to share what I was learning. It's grown into one of the older Python resources on the web, and today it also hosts a collection of free image tools that tens of thousands of people use every month โ€” no sign-up, no watermarks, just tools that work.

What I do
professionally

I currently work as a data analyst at Wiley Publishing, where I work on complex data pipelines, reporting systems and analysis projects. The role keeps me sharp โ€” there's always a messy dataset, a slow query to optimize, or a model to tune.

Over the years I've worked across machine learning and data analysis projects that span classification, computer vision and predictive modelling. The domains change but the toolkit stays consistent: Python, SQL, a handful of great libraries, and a lot of patience with data that doesn't cooperate.

Areas of
expertise

๐Ÿง 
Machine Learning
CNNs, Random Forest, classification and regression models built and deployed in real production environments.
๐Ÿ“Š
Data Analysis
End-to-end analysis pipelines using pandas, numpy and SQL โ€” from raw ingestion to clean, actionable insight.
๐Ÿ‘๏ธ
Computer Vision
Image processing with OpenCV and deep learning. Practical experience building tools that handle real image data at scale.
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
Tool Building
Building useful, free browser-based tools for developers and creators โ€” the kind of thing I wished existed when I needed it.
