now

last updated

this is my /now page. it's a snapshot of what I'm focused on right now.

currently working on

  • the reep register — a canonical register of football entities, mapping players, teams, and coaches across 30+ data providers. currently at 400K+ players and 45K+ teams. available as a set of csv files and as an API. i'm now working on a v2 of the register, built on a world model / relational approach, with a toolkit for minting identities and bridging across providers.
  • nutmeg and football docs — a claude code plugin and skills framework for football analytics. currently testing and refining it every day in my own workflows. football docs is an mcp server for letting your ai look up football data documentation, definitions, and concepts. feedback is very welcome, you can beta test it here.
  • wqbot - a twitter/x bot that regularly shares PL-focused data viz, and marcadorigami/scorigami updates. i'm adding more automated charts to the bot, like table possibilities and season stories, each linking back to its interactive on the site.

recent work

  • campos - football viz for the web: a react component library for football charts with sensible defaults and flexible customisation, plus a set of data adapters for common football providers (stats perform, statsbomb, whoscored, etc). now built and in beta, you can try it at campos.withqwerty.com.
  • withqwerty.com — migrated the football content away from thisismy.team so that remains a marketing site for the myTeam app. my football charts, interactives, footnotes, and projects get their own home. you are here.

paid work

  • delivering and integrating a new platform for a premier league club this summer. available for contract work, and full-time roles if they're a good fit. i'm ai-forward, collaborative, creative, and try to put personality into the things i make. i enjoy being forward-deployed, and happy to work in-person (londonmaxxing but open to hybrid roles).
  • roles i would find interesting: product/dx/data engineer, data journalist/technical writer, chief of staff or personal assistant for a seasoned founder. i don't have a computer science background nor deep senior experience as an engineer, but i'm a great fit if you're looking for someone who has a high bar, can learn anything fast, can leave an impression on just about anyone (inside or outside the team), and gets shit done. communication with intention is preferred, you can be direct with me, it's how we move fast and grow.
  • past roles: product engineer at awell health (belgian health tech, 12 employees, 4 years), creator of jumpers for goalposts football festival (2019, 800 attendees), engagement manager at cartesian (tmt strategy consulting, uk/us, 7 years). the full cv is here.
