NICK STRAYER

I have made visualizations viewed by hundreds of thousands of people, sped up query times for 25
terabytes of data by an average of 4,800 times, and built packages for R that let you do magic.

Currently searching for a position that allows me to build tools leveraging a combination of visual-
ization, machine learning, and software engineering to help people explore and understand their
data in new and useful ways.
