I'm a mathematics graduate currently employed in software development, and politics enthusiast. I first became interested in politics in the run up to the UK General Election in 2010. In particular, I'm interested in questions related to analysis of electoral, polling, or other historical data.

I was elected as a pro tempore moderator in Politics' first moderator election. If you'd like to contact me regarding my moderator actions, please write a question on Meta. For anything else, please feel free to ping me in chat. I can also be reached at politics@<my username>.co.uk.
