Those who have seen me recently might observe that I currently look rather different to this photo. It was taken in April 2021 which was the last time I had a haircut and it is also the most recent (and only) professional photo which has been taken of me since high school (although some have suggested that it looks like a school photo anyway).

::: {#about-block}
## Welcome to my website!
You have reached the personal website of **Tim Gummer**. I am an Associate of Institute of Actuaries of Australia (AIAA). I am currently taking an 18 month leave of absence from my job as an Actuarial Analyst at Finity Consulting in order to spend more time on my actuarial studies (to become a fellow), with my family and on personal projects.
I have built this website as a fun project. I would like to use it to chronicle some of my side projects. I enjoy these projects for their own sake and the main benefit I get out of them is learning and the satisfaction of building something cool. I hope that this website will provide me with further motivation to work on these projects (as well as being an enjoyable project in and of itself).
### My interests
The content of this site will mix and match combinations of some of my particular interests/skills listed below:
* Tools/Languages: R, VBA, Excel, $\LaTeX$, Python
* Methods: Statistics, Data Science (Collection, Visualisation, Modelling), Mathematics
* Applications: Sport (Australian Rules Football, Cricket)

# Contents
* [Blog](Blog): articles about my personal projects and things that interest me.
* [Goals](Goals): keeping track of my goals (prospective) and achievements (retrospective) as well as failure/road blocks along the way.
* [CV](CV): my public curriculum vitae for keeping track of my educational and professional experiences.
# Colophon
> This section is inspired by the [section](https://r4ds.hadley.nz/intro.html#colophon){target="_blank"} of the same name in Hadley Whickham's *[R For Data Science](https://r4ds.hadley.nz){target="_blank"}* (I am unaware of where the concept originally came from).
This website is built using [Quarto](https://quarto.org){target="_blank"}'s [static website generator](https://quarto.org/docs/websites/){target="_blank"}. As I am most familiar with R and am using Quarto coming from using [RMarkdown](https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/){target="_blank"}, I am using [knitr](https://yihui.org/knitr/){target="_blank"} as my engine.
