#introduction Hey y’all 👋 I’m James David Long! Many friends call me JD. CMastication comes from my (mostly stale) blog, CerebralMastication.com. I regularly masticate in public, often in restaurants with children present. I work in and around all things data. I am part of a risk solutions consultancy inside of a global reinsurance company. I answer analytical questions for which there’s no easy button. I’ve got a family that mostly tolerates my dad jokes and an awesome dog named Sparky.
