It would be interesting to do a data breakdown on this list. I'll make a prediction: lots of over 35s, women, people of color, and other markers of "diversity". I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm right, perhaps this could be reposted as "So I hear you want diversity on your team? Well... here we are, hire us!" It would be great if someone who has the power to do this in a public way would do so. I'm not saying it would change things overnight but let's call it the Paris Agreement of tech, shall we? We need to start doing something about this now.

In other news, the Trump administration wants to start investigating colleges for discrimination against white applicants. So, that is the latest empty distraction, but it brings real consequences we all suffer with for years.

------------------

I consider myself a mix of a software engineer / data analyst / business analyst. I am active in the end to end delivery of projects: from gathering requirements, building and testing of the software, user acceptance testing and the delivery. I usually work with multiple teams to deliver projects. Having worked in investment banking, I also have knowledge of finance.

I enjoy working collaboratively with others, and take pride in delivering solutions that are just right. I listen to feedback from users and improve my software to suit their needs. I also like to expand my skills and recently built a project to learn React. I also take part in the London PyData and Python meetups.

I'm looking for opportunities in the US (Permanent Resident and have work authorisation), joining a company and team where I can add value while gaining and strengthening my skills. If you're looking for someone with a diverse background from data analysis, project management and software development, then you're looking for me!

Thanks for reading.
