I am SO thrilled to see an #irishtwitter hashtag here on Mastodon as I begin to move my microblogging habits across.

Missed this detail from my #introduction but worth saying here:

Strictly speaking, I am Irish by virtue of the all too familiar tale of having one set of grandparents who hailed from Co. Mayo, which makes me a "passport paddy" according to some folks 😬🇮🇪🍀

But✋️as an Irish citizen who is immensely proud of my mixed Irish-Peruvian heritage, I figure I qualify as an #IrishTooter🤓

Okay, brief #introduction from me:

I..

👨‍💻Work as a data journalist

Enjoy experimenting with the usual tools 🔧 e.g. #Python_programming #r #ggplot2 #matplotlib #seaborn etc.

Am learning #svelte & have aspirations to expand my knowledge / master best approaches to #datavisualization.

Love travelling

Have various niche interests.

Am intrigued by platforms like #mastodon & how they could democratise communication/push back against #SurveillanceCapitalism

Mainly speak English & Spanish.

Just another #TwitterMigrant checking out this corner of the Fediverse. 👋

I had already largely disengaged from social media but I am curious about this decentralised approach.

Nice Android app 👌 👏
