What's cooking in my IDE

I'm writing a React (soon React Native) app that's part of an unpublished tabletop board game tentatively titled Wood and Steel. It's a good chance to implement a little graph query engine and update my declarative app skills.

I recently spent a lot of coding time writing and updating Wherobots's example notebooks for geospatial analytics.

I partner with Product and Engineering on deep technical challenges.

I believe designers can do their best work when they understand the business and the technology that powers it. I've shipped cool stuff using full-stack knowledge of ML/AI, hardware/software integration, and coding frameworks at Microsoft, Tableau, three startups, and as a consultant. I've git some examples in my portfolio.

GitHub-wise, I don't have a lot of publicly available code, but I did design the Observable 10 color scheme built into D3 and Observable Plot.

I'm a design leader who builds happy and diverse teams.

I'm a solo product designer now. My most recent professional experience was bringing planetary-scale analytics and AI to life at Wherobots. Previously, I took the Tableau Product Design team from four people in a single office to a team of 40 working in a 1,000+ person product org across four time zones. We got to help Tableau go through hypergrowth, have an IPO, and build to $1 billion in revenue.
