Walking Randomly

I’m Mike Croucher, a Research Software Engineer at The University of Sheffield and employee number one of their Open Data Science Initiative. Before this I was Head of Scientific Applications Software Support at The University of Manchester. I am also a Fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute. The common thread that binds these roles together is that I work with researchers to help them write better code using the best hardware and software tools we have available.

In this blog I write about things that I find interesting, useful or, ideally, both. It is my hope that others find them interesting and useful too.
