Portfolio & CV

James Conn

Software Developer & AI Data Consultant

I am a Python developer focused on data applications and automation. I build automated data pipelines to compile into reports, and production web applications, and have shipped software used by real paying users. My work sits at the intersection of software engineering & data analytics, with a growing interest in AI-enabled tooling.

Outside of work you will find me on the golf course. The game rewards precision and methodical thinking, both of which translate directly into creating great products.

The hobby I invest the most time into is golf. I am a +2 handicap and really enjoy playing in local amateur competitions at weekends. I grew up representing the Northumberland county junior team and have since progressed into representing the Men's team.

I also enjoy reading books around areas complementary to building products, such as marketing and sales. My favourite reads so far in 2026 are Contagious: How to Build Word of Mouth in the Digital Age, which provides a great framework for why people talk about certain things but not others, and Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, the founder of Nike.

I have also just resurrected my dad's old Canon DSLR and am trying to learn the basic principles of how cameras work and how to take great photographs, although there is a lot more to it than I thought.
