I build software enabling people to create data visualizations in order to help everyone make sense of large amounts of data.
I attended the University of Washington, and then earned a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My experience includes creating visualizations for biological analyses and using visualization to summarize large amounts of data to highlight trends, patterns, and anomalies. Currently, I work as an senior R&D software engineer for Microsoft's data visualization product: Power BI.
Find me on Twitter, GitHub, Reddit, Mastodon, and Keybase. My CV is available, as well as statements on research and teaching on request.
