Hi there. My name is Ian, and I'm a researcher based in Tbilisi, Georgia. I've spent most of the last fifteen years working for international non-profits, largely in the South Caucasus and the Middle East. You can find my full professional profile on LinkedIn and my code at GitHub.
I enjoy mucking about with computers and exploring data with Python. My research interests include aid, inequality, media, and drug policy.
This blog exists primarily to document and support my learning. I believe that writing about what I do, I understand things better, and have more motivation to complete what I'm working on.
It's built using Jekyll, using the Clean Blog Jekyll theme by Start Bootstrap. The image used above and on the landing and contact pages is of the Bridge of Peace in Tbilisi. Photo credit: @dorsamasghati on Unsplash.
