SEEKING WORK - Remote, am in US Eastern Time

I solve data-related problems. I use data science and full-stack data development tools to generate analysis and applications. Whether this means providing advice on your current data practices, creating an ETL web application, creating a real-time updating dashboard, or undertaking one-time statistical analyses, I am able to help you make sense of your data to make better business decisions. I follow an agile, test-driven development methodology.

Have worked for Twitter, the Inter-American Development Bank, numerous startups.

Languages: Python, R, JS.

Some things I’ve worked on recently: - Consulted with a startup and provided ongoing advocacy about their data ecosystem, data warehousing practices, and data acquisition pipelines. - Built end-to-end applications that produce a data-related product - One-off analyses and visualizations of business-critical data to gain additional insight

Portfolio: http://rowanv.com Email: rowan [at] rowanv [dot] com

Other tech tools I work with:

- Web Frameworks: Python's Django and Flask

- Visualization Libraries: R's ggplot2 and Python's matplotlib for static visualizations. Python's Bokeh and JavaScript's D3 for dynamic visualizations. Python's Bokeh for dashboards.

- Big Data Tools: Pig and Scalding are my preferred Map Reduce abstraction layers. Together with Python, R, and Bash, I have experience utilizing these tools within the Hadoop File System to make large amounts of data manageable.
