Hi everyone, my name is Dean Kayton. I am from Cape Town, South Africa. Currently living in a remote area of South Africa called Kosi Bay.

First and foremost, I am an approachable person who responds quickly, please feel free to get in touch.

I am primarily a Python developer with some recent experience in Julia. I moved into programming from software quality assurance (before that I was a transport engineer, having completed a master's in civil engineering in my previous life!), automated testing, then Devops and cloud deployments. Big fan of infrastructure as code and using tools such as Docker, Packer and Terraform.

I am focusing more and more on statistics and datascience at the moment, having most recently worked in supporting a bioinformatics team.

I like to be able to interface with a broad set of industries and disciplines but for me, machine learning is where I want my future to head.

I use gitlab - gitlab.com/dnk8n (more recent) and github - github.com/dnk8n
