James GB (this is what I look like!)

James Gascoigne-Burns

London-based software engineer helping the UK government use its data to make better decisions.
I care a lot about making the world better, which I currently try to do through my work, pledging part of my salary to high-impact charities, and more recently by building skills to make AI safer.
In my free time, you can find me playing board games, listening to music, and trying to learn my partner's native language, Czech (je to velmi těžké).
