Summary
John M is a web application developer with nine years of professional experience building data-driven tooling and educational software, currently working in Continuing Education at the University of Oxford. He blends practical full‑stack web skills (JavaScript/Node, HTML/CSS, Git) with data engineering and visualization expertise (Python, R, SQL, Neo4j, ggplot, Plotly) to turn messy sources into clear reports and dashboards. His background spans academia and nonprofits—lecturing and designing distance-learning modules, building educational games in vanilla JS and Phaser.js, and automating library finance and publishing workflows—so he is comfortable translating research requirements into usable digital products. Notably, he has scripted end-to-end pipelines that harvest and harmonise public datasets and media (World Bank, IUCN, Wikimedia) to generate hundreds of static pages and dashboards, showing a knack for reproducible automation. Based in Cherwell District, UK, he combines a PhD-level research mindset with hands-on coding and a long-running interest in simulations, agent-based models and biodiversity.
