# Short version Colin Fay is a lead developer at ThinkR, a French agency focused on everything R-related. He builds R packages, {shiny} apps that survive production, and maintains the golemverse. # Long version Colin Fay is a lead developer at ThinkR, a French agency focused on everything R-related. By day, he helps companies take full advantage of the power of R. He builds tools, deploys infrastructure, and patiently explains that a {shiny} app is a serious piece of software like any other. His playground: data & software engineering, web applications (frontend and backend), and the long unglamorous road that takes R code all the way to production. By night, he is an active open source developer and advocate: main developer of {golem} and the wider golemverse, lead author of "Engineering Production-Grade Shiny Apps", and he travels the world to complain about computers in front of an audience. # Unofficial version (for the brave) Colin writes R for a living and runs absurdly long distances for fun. He eats only plants, listens to music that sounds like a chainsaw falling down a flight of stairs, and holds strong opinions about putting R in production. Buy him a coffee, and he will tell you about all four, whether you asked or not. # More about Colin https://colinfay.me https://github.com/ColinFay https://fosstodon.org/@colinfay https://speakerdeck.com/colinfay # More about ThinkR http://www.thinkr.fr/ https://github.com/ThinkR-open
