Statistical skills
I'm co-chairing the working group "Methods" of the German Society of Medical Sociology (AG Methoden / DGMS) and do a lot R programminh. Currently, I'm mostly involved in projects related to R statistics (through the easystats project or my other packages like ggeffects). However, my previous main activity in developing research software was the Zettelkasten, in Java.
Here are the main R-package projects I'm working on:
