Oh hello!

I’m Fonti and I am an evolutionary biologist wearing R developer shoes. I work with researchers and turn their ideas into accessible tools. I like to learn new things in R and sharing it with others. I am an organiser for UNSWcodeRs - a student and staff run R user community at the University of New South Wales.
