Hi there 👋,

My name is Thomas Zwagerman. I'm a Research Software Engineer at the British Antarctic Survey.

I previously worked as an Environmental Data Scientist and as a Spatial Data Analyst at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, where I developed tools and processes for the automated processing and quality assurance of air quality and climate change datasets, as well as developed interactive dissemination tools and reports for customers and stakeholders. I have also worked as a Data Intelligence Officer at the Suffolk County Council, where I maintained the SCC Planning organisation on Github.

Away from work I'm (slowly) working on my Shiny application fplboard.

🏗️ Programming languages and tools:

I use R for almost everything, with sometimes a bit of Python and more and more of JS/CSS/HTML.

I have the following experience:

  • Shiny Development, using the golem framework to develop applications as a package, writing modules for scalable applications and writing unit tests with testthat and shinytest2.

  • Writing plumber APIs and leveraging web APIs with httr.

  • Automating workflows using RStudio Connect and pins or Github Actions.

  • Writing scientific and technical report and publishing websites in rmarkdown, distill and quarto, including creating company brand templates with HTML & CSS (see my scctemplate package).

  • Spatial Data manipulation and visualisation with sf, terra, leaflet and other relevant packages.

🌍 Socials & Website:

I am on Twitter and LinkedIn. I also have my own website, which is still under development and you can find the repository on my page.

📚 Resources I use:

My first stepts in R were at the Coding Club.

A list of reference books I use frequently in no particular order:
