About Me
A Little Research is owned and operated by Nicholas Paul Sheppard. I'm an engineer, teacher and researcher with particular experience in software development, information security and privacy, algorithms, library technology and open data. I hold degrees in computer systems engineering and mathematics from the University of Queensland and a PhD in computer science from the University of Sydney.
A Little Research is based in Wollongong, New South Wales. I can work in person anywhere in the Greater Wollongong area, and north to the Sydney CBD. Occasional visits to other east coast and ACT locations can be negotiated. I can conduct remote work for clients anywhere in Australia.
