OFH Research

We are OFH Research.

Retired and curious tinkerers who love to extract the juice from datasets to see what flows out.

The Head Geek

Many years spent in the IT industry, supporting databases and analysing the data within. Retirement brought a desire to use those powers to satisfy his curiosity about peculiar aspects of the world on his own terms.

Analyst at Large

A lifetime of contemplating our place on Earth following a formal education in drafting, geography, and biology. These interests inform our Analyst in her exploration of the patterns found in society and the environment.

OFH Research

Investigating bits and bobs of the world with the data at hand. We will continue building a portfolio based on our curiosity, but are always willing to consider paid projects.
