About

Welcome to the personal site of Ian Thomas Watson. I am a data scientist and communications engineer and my blog covers various interesting datasets, data science topics and visualisations. I am particularly interested in data with a historical or military theme. I hope to add to this regularly but life is short and when the weather is fine I’m more inclined to outdoor pursuits.
