Bio

I've spent over a decade doing data visualization in academia and industry. My work has included digital humanities scholarship such as ORBIS: The Stanford Geospatial Network Map of the Roman Empire as well as internal analytical applications for Netflix and Apple. I wrote D3.js in Action (including a second edition) a best-selling book on the most powerful data visualization library available. I also created Semiotic, a React-based charting library that allows you to create not only traditional charts but also hierarchical and network diagrams. My current emphasis is on how to create intuitive data visualization features in our product that enables more robust, more sophisticated approaches for generating and answering important questions.
