    Hello, I am an IT support tech/sysadmin who somehow ended up with data analyst/engineer duties.

    I develop R scripts (tidyverse), but I’m also responsible for running them as part of my team’s workflows. The scripts are basically manual data pipelines since the higher ups won’t let my team invest in actual automation & integration. I also use Javascript/HTML/CSS to build front ends for our information management system.

    I don’t know many R programmers IRL so I’m glad to find a forum for it in the fediverse.
