Four things I do.
While I'm capable of full stack engineering, here's some of the stuff I'm the best at and genuinely like doing.
Data visualization
Making sense of scientific, computational, and data-heavy apps — turning dense data into something you can actually read.
Design engineering
Taking experiences end to end — from the first sketch to shipped code — with usability driving every call.
Rapid Iteration
Learning from real people, then prototyping fast — testing ideas in days, not months.
Accessibility
Making tools appealing and usable for a wide variety of use cases and users.
A couple of public-facing data projects I'm proud of.
Uncertainty displays for on the go decision making
Showing riders the spread of likely arrivals, not one confident number, led to better decisions — a CHI 2018 Honourable Mention.
A forecast you could plan around
One of the first public forecasts of when COVID-19 would peak and whether hospitals would have room — used by millions and briefed by the White House.
