Hi there! Welcome.

I’m a former autism researcher, Associate Professor, and National Institutes of Health-funded Principal Investigator, who transitioned from academic research into data science and now product management.

I love teaching, and am an award-winning educator with over 13 years of experience. I’ve developed and led advanced workshops on literate programming and machine learning at conferences like rstudio::conf, R / Medicine, and R in Pharma.

Lately

I’m shifting my focus from doing and teaching data science, to building tools for people who want to do and teach data science. I spend my time thinking deeply about how to improve the user experience and building empathy into how we design, document, and disseminate tools for data science communication.
