I’m a full stack developer who refuses to believe data visualization’s only role is as a scientific tool. Before I took the dive into the engineering world, I worked as an analyst by day and an artist by night. As an artist, my work aims to create a bridge between the visual and quantitative worlds through the use of fractals. Too often the diving barrier between mathematics and society is enforced by intimidation, a perceived over-complexity, and a reliance on numerical units. By presenting math in a visual context, I offer viewers a unique experience allowing their imagination to wander through the contours of my work and not have to overthink the root cause.
My artistic process influenced my view of the analytical world. I quickly realized the stigma surrounding the difficulty of algorithms and statistics made society shy away from data. Numbers, percentages, and spreadsheets were never going to tell a convincing story. Data representation needed a makeover.
Data visualization can break down numbers into patterns, trends, and make information interesting and even beautiful. My goal is to make data more accessible to the people and empower them to learn from it rather than shy away from its complexities. A piece of art can inspire, impress, and make you think, and so should a good data visualization.
