Hi, I'm Chris 👋

I have spent the last few years at Facebook and recent startups building a variety of internal data visualization tools and UIs, and have learned a lot since my humble beginnings as a business analyst learning and hacking JS visualizations with no prior coding background.

All this is possible because of open-source tools and open access to knowledge. Recently, I have been actively working on a number of open source projects, simplifying the way we work with data, visualizations, content, and knowledge.

I am extremely excited in the content/document/knowledge problem space and have been sinking many hours on recent projects in these areas. I would love to advance these projects to the next phases with you 👊.

I use any tools for the job and have worked with r, py, sql and various parts of the software stack (building REST/Graphql APIs, plumbing data pipelines), but js is my JAM to rapidly build cheap solutions consumable via UIs.

Did I mention cheap?

Yes, I did, and cheap is good. I strongly believe all things become easier to do over time. The cheaper we can build things to use/compose/refactor/deprecate, the more efficient the world operates in the long run.

In the spirit of minimalism, this website is built cheapy with:
