🍽️ Long version (full plate)
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 widergolemverse, 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.
