Research interests
I have experience using a wide range of technologies to support research, including mobile development (native and web), Semantic Web and Linked Data (RDF, SPARQL), Java (JAX-RS, JPA, Servlets, JSP etc), XML (TEI, XQuery, XSL), Python (Django, Pandas, Matplotlib) and web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). I have a particular interest in technologies used in the Digital Humanities. I'm an Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
