James Everard
An experienced Programmer, Data Scientist and Entrepreneur
I’m a full-stack developer passionate about creating products that people love—especially those with an AI or data science twist.
While I have extensive experience in management and leadership—both as an entrepreneur and within teams—my true passion lies in hands-on programming, where I find my “flow.”
Front-end: I specialise in React.js and React Native for building web and mobile applications.
Back-end: I primarily work with Python, deploying on AWS or self-hosted infrastructure.
Data Science: Experienced in NumPy, SciPy, TensorFlow, PyTorch, computer vision, and LLMs.
I enjoy remote work but thrive in hybrid environments, ideally spending a couple of days a week in the office.
