Professional pain in the neck (as in I’m paid to see things from different perspectives). All opinions are *obviously* mine. Don’t take me/life too seriously.

Really enjoyed Sam Tazzyman presenting at #IFGDataBites. His description of the importance of MoJ specifically focusing on Data Engineers as a discipline was great to hear. Hopeful for even more, high quality, reusable open data as an outcome.
