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, coaches, competitions, seasons, stages, and matches across 21 data providers. just shipped v1: 908K+ entities and 2.8M+ provider bridges, replacing the old wikidata-qid-centric v0 (now frozen, still available for existing users during the migration bridge). available as csv/duckdb downloads and a keyed api. now onboarding data partners for api access and consultancy engagements integrating the register into partner systems.
  • 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.
  • fpl genius — football outcomes are luck plus skill, and skill is the harder half to measure. not player performance or match results, but a second-order read on people: the behaviour behind their transfers, captaincy calls, and chip timing, judged only on what was knowable at the time. fpl genius turns that into a season-long decision-quality score, wrapped up to be genuinely fun to read (badges, an archetype, a shareable recap) — and it's turned into a running lesson for me in how to build and calibrate a scoring model out in the open. the 25/26 recap is live at fplgeni.us, with a league-first relaunch for 26/27 (judged week by week, not just final rank) coming before the new season kicks off.

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.

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.
