now

last updated

this is my /now page. it's a snapshot of what I'm focused on right now.

building

  • campos - football viz for the web: a react component library for football charts with sensible defaults and flexible customisation, plus a set of data adapters for common football providers (stats perform, statsbomb, whoscored, etc). you can see it at campos.withqwerty.com.
  • withqwerty.com — migrated the football content away from thisismy.team so that remains a marketing site for the myTeam app. my football charts, interactives, footnotes, and projects get their own home. you are here.
  • the reep register — a canonical register of football entities, mapping players, teams, and coaches across 30+ data providers. currently at 400K+ players and 45K+ teams. available as a set of csv files and as an API.
  • nutmeg and football docs — a claude code plugin and skills framework for football analytics. currently testing and refining it every day in my own workflows. football docs is an mcp server for letting your ai look up football data documentation, definitions, and concepts. feedback is very welcome, you can beta test it here.
  • wqbot - a twitter/x bot that regularly shares PL-focused data viz, and marcadorigami/scorigami updates.

work

  • currently: contract work for football clubs and data providers
  • i'm available for part/full-time roles, and contract/project work this summer. i'm ai-forward, collaborative, creative, and try to put personality into the things i make. i enjoy being forward-deployed, and happy to work in-person (currently londonmaxxing but open to hybrid roles).
  • roles i would find interesting: product/dx/data engineer, data journalist/technical writer, chief of staff or personal assistant for a seasoned founder
  • i don't have a computer science background nor deep senior experience as an engineer, but i'm a great fit if you're looking for someone who has a high bar, can learn anything fast, can leave an impression on just about anyone (insider or outside the team), and gets shit done.
  • communication with intention is preferred. you can be direct with me, it's how we move fast and grow.
  • past roles: product engineer at awell health (belgian health tech, 12 employees, 4 years), creator of jumpers for goalposts football festival (2019, 600 attendees), engagement manager at cartesian (tmt strategy consulting, uk/us, 7 years)
