PROFILE
James Hayes (né Mcmahon)
Worked on the Public-Health-Scotland/list-localities-profiles repository, delivering robust locality profile reports and dashboards focused on data accuracy, performance, and maintainability. Applied R and R Markdown to optimize data binding, implement caching, and refactor document generation using bookdown, resulting in faster rendering and clearer outputs. Enhanced demographic visualizations and improved data processing pipelines, including new population pyramid charts and refined health statistics extraction. Strengthened CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, automated code formatting, and Docker-based builds. Addressed bugs in input handling and data year accuracy, while updating documentation and code structure to support ongoing collaboration, data security, and workflow automation.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 — Public-Health-Scotland/list-localities-profiles: Focused on delivering robust locality profiles and maintainable data pipelines. Key outcomes include: 1) Locality Profiles enhancements delivering demographics handling, general health data extraction, and household statistics with a readability-focused refactor; 2) bug fix for short period representation in life expectancy data, consolidating period_short computation in a single mutate; 3) documentation updates clarifying ordering and presentation of Long-Term Condition prevalence estimates. These changes improve locality-level data quality, reporting accuracy, and maintainability. Technologies demonstrated: R programming, data wrangling, code refactor from magrittr pipes to base pipes, and Bookdown documentation.
