Experiments with data.
Each project below has a short note on how I built it and a link to the code, so you can make your own.

About
I'm Thomas Colin, a data scientist in Brisbane. I've spent my career turning data into information, most recently at Atlassian.
Data Skunkworks is where the experiments live: each piece starts with a question and ends with something you can poke at.
The code for every piece is on GitHub.
