I work as a Data Curator at a university. What the job title means is that I'll first try to understand the data at hand and what I'm supposed to do with it. Then I start to clean, wrangle and visualize. I'm at home with Unix-like tools and SQL, and Perl is my workhorse (but there I stand on the shoulders of my fellow giants). Since some time now, I've spent quite a lot of time with R. When out of office, I am a nature traveller/observer. The location doesn't have to be rainforest but often it is.
