James broke out of academia half a decade ago and found a home at the Bureau of Meteorology. Whilst bending Java and Python to breaking point working on forecasting systems James developed an interest in spatial data and GIS applications.

James co-founded clj-melb, the Clojure Melbourne User Group, and is keen to spent more time encouraging others to give FP a shot.
