My name is Thomas Zwagerman. I'm a Research Software Engineer at the British Antarctic Survey.
I currently work on the Autonomous Marine Operations Planning project, and on enhancing model ensembling of WAVI, an ice sheet model. I mostly use Python, but R is my "first" language.
I previously worked as an Environmental Data Scientist and as a Spatial Data Analyst at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. I have also worked as a Data Intelligence Officer at the Suffolk County Council, where I maintained the SCC Planning organisation on Github.
My first stepts in R were at the Coding Club.
A list of reference books I use frequently in no particular order:
- Mastering Shiny by Hadley Wickham.
- Efficient R programming by Colin Gillespie and Robin Lovelace.
- R Packages by Hadley Wickham and Jenny Bryan
- Engineering Production-Grade Shiny Apps by Colin Fay, Sébastien Rochette, Vincent Guyader and Cervan Girard.
- Geocomputation with R by Robin Lovelace, Jakub Nowosad and Jannes Muenchow.
- R for Data Science by Hadley Wickham and Garrett Grolemund.
- Python for Data Analysis by Wes McKinney.
- Earth and Environmental Data Science (Python) by Ryan Abernathey, Kerry Key, Tim Crone, and Julius Busecke.
