Creations

Here you can find resources on things that I have created - software tools and useful scripts, hobby projects and plans for tangible objects.

Software

Most of my scientific work is done using Python and the extensive suite of modules and libraries available for that language. However, I also occasionally write in Java (for Android) and web languages such as JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

A selection of my software and tools are linked below. For a more complete list, click the logo to access my GitHub account.
