# James Swinton-Bland
Helps developers build data-intensive React dashboards at AG Grid.

## About

James Swinton-Bland helps developers build better data tables and charts. He began his career writing Android and Java applications before transitioning to developer relations at AG Grid, where he focuses primarily on the React ecosystem.

His work tackles the messy reality of front-end development at scale. He teaches teams how to handle large datasets, navigate complex cross-filtering requirements, and build data-intensive dashboards that actually survive in production.
