About Me

I'm James, a freelance data scientist, technical writer, and AI specialist based in London, with a First Class degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Lancaster University. In my previous role at Mime, I built dashboards, automated data pipelines, and delivered analysis for schools and local authorities across the UK.

I also write about AI, algorithms, and data science at jdhwilkins.com, where I've built an audience of over 5,000 Medium followers and 3,500 email subscribers. It's where I explore what's actually happening at the jagged frontier of AI... without the hype.

If you need sharper data solutions, practical AI integration, or technical explanations without the jargon, I'd love to help.
