About me
Football, statistics and a lot of charts.
I'm originally from Northampton, England, and moved to the US in 2010 on a football (soccer) scholarship to the University of Kentucky. There I earned a BS in Mathematics and Statistics, followed by a Master's in Statistics in 2017.
dataheard is where I bring those interests together, using data visualisation to explore whatever has caught my attention, from Premier League history to setlists and Spotify.
