Current role
I am a freelance editor, journalist and web developer. My main current project is Unredacted, a research unit that investigates and documents secretive UK national security practices. I have built and continue to develop both the public-facing website as well as a custom document management system.
I previously worked at Newsweek as data and editor, and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, as well as editing for other financial titles.
Before that I was at the Financial Times in a variety of roles for 12 years. You can read more on my FT background here.
Please see more of my web development work here.
If you’d like to hire me for a project (web development, editorial, something data-driven), or just want advice, please get in touch.
Books
I’m the author of book about sport and statistics – Sports Geek: A Visual Tour of Myths, Debates, and Data – published by Bloomsbury in 2016. You can read all about it.
I also contributed a chapter to the excellent book Data Journalism, Past Present and Future – which was published in October 2017. My chapter was a review of sports data journalism.
This site
On this blog I write about stuff I’m interested in. Not what I think you are interested in – that would make this a business, and I would then charge either advertisers to sell to you, or you to read it, or both. What I am interested in might not interest you, but that’s ok. If it does, great. That’s a blog.
I post non-newsletter stuff a bit sporadically, I know. That’s partly due to having other commitments, partly due to having four children.
