About

I'm George, an MSc student at LSE studying Inequalities and Social Science. I completed my BSc studies in July 2025 at LSE, where I studied International Social and Public Policy and Economics.

My main area of interest is wealth inequality and, more specifically, whether tax-efficient investment accounts (ISAs in the UK context) can bridge the divide.

A special note of gratitude to Professor Richard Davies, Josh Hellings, and Finn McEvoy for their instruction in PP434; their excellent teaching provided the technical foundation that allowed me to build this site from scratch.

Technical Skills: Python (Pandas, Scraper, Sklearn), Vega-Lite, HTML/CSS, APIs, and GeoJSON mapping.
