Hola, I'm Isaac Arroyo 🇲🇽 👋

I'm a Data Visualisation Journalist at The National in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. I like to define my work as being at the intersection of numbers, shapes, and colours.

Visit my Behance profile to see my data visualisation projects.

Quick summary of my academic background

  • I have a BSc. in Engineering Physics ⚛️
  • My undergraduate thesis focused on exploring and visualising wildfire records and environmental data, from CSVs to raster data 🛰️ 🗺️. Here is a Medium article I wrote and the GitHub repo of my undergrad thesis project.

My professional interests 🤓

Although my background is in physics, I aim to use my data analysis and visualisation skills in other fields. For example, journalism 📰, social sciences and human rights 🧑‍🤝‍🧑👬👭, the arts 🎨, public policy 🏛️ and the environment 🌱🍃.

My tech, data and math skills 📝

  • Knowledge of math (statistics, linear algebra, calculus) and unsupervised (machine) learning (anomaly detection, pattern recognition).
  • Data analysis with Python and R
  • Data visualisation using
    • Programming languages Python, R and Observable Plot (JavaScript library)
    • Design software: Illustrator
    • Other platforms: Flourish and Datawrapper

Other things about me ✨

  • 🎧 I love listening to music, especially Alessia Cara, Taylor Swift, The Warning, Kendrick Lamar, The Last Dinner Party, and Residente/Calle 13.
  • 🎥 "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and Dead Poets Society are my favourite movies.
  • 🎨 I love art, especially painting and architecture. I enjoy going to art exhibitions and learning about art history.
