SEEKING WORK | Seattle (remote preferred, travel OK)
I'm a polyglot web programmer with a specialty in scientific data visualization. I've worked on graph visualizations of pharma data, built custom data dashboard charts, worked on Big 4 projects, made interactive maps visualizing ecological data, and built apps with React Native and Electron. I've helped bring products to market and built proof-of-concepts. I have dual degrees in CS and studio art, spent several years at the University of Washington working on NSF-funded serious games in microbiology, and cut my teeth writing simulations of complex systems for UMich and Sandia Labs.
Lately I've been using D3.js quite extensively, but I'm comfortable with your usual programming tasks like figuring out an under-documented API, turning high-level requirements into actionable plans and then code, evaluating which 3rd-party library is the best to use in a particular situation, and so on. I'm friendly, communicative, have opinions both on design aesthetics as well as tools, and am happy to advocate for what I think would be best for a project.
Most-used tools:
* Javascript stack: Node.js, ES6, React, D3.js, React Native, Electron
* Python stack(s): Django, pandas, matplotlib, scikit, sklearn, basemap
Also used: C# / .NET framework, Java
