Graduate-level visual analytics course
2023A course that I taught for computer science and complex systems students.
About my work
I build analytics tools that help people understand, analyze, and share insights from complex data. Today I manage the product team at Relevant Healthcare, which builds software used by community health centers across the United States. Previously, I built tools for neuroscience, safer military vehicles, and an early-stage project at Google X.
