Introducing yourselves

[ccamara]

Dear colleagues,

Given that there are quite a few people who have shown interest in attending to this workshop, we may not have time to properly introduce ourselves during the session. However, we do not want to lose the opportunity of getting to know each other, so we (@jamestripp, @cagatayTurkay and myself) have thought that it would be nice if everyone attending could introduce themselves by adding a comment into this issue.

We'll be setting the example:

• Carlos Cámara-Menoyo, Senior Research Software Engineer at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies, University of Warwick. 🌍 , 🐦 , 🐘
• James Tripp (@jamestripp), Senior Research Software Engineer at the Information and Digital Group, University of Warwick.
• Cagatay Turkay (@cagatayTurkay ), Professor at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies, University of Warwick.

Now it's your turn. Would you like to tell us about your...

• Name
• Affiliation/Job title
• Preferred programming Language
• Previous experience with Quarto
