Hi, I'm Yan.

I specialize in helping companies and researchers analyze and visualize their datasets. I excel in data visualization. If you're looking for guidance on presenting your results or building complex interactive charts, I'm the expert you're seeking.

With a solid 12-year track record in data science, I've collaborated with prestigious research institutes like the University of Queensland and leading private companies such as Datadog.

I am now working as a consultant and on my educational websites like data-to-viz.com, Productive R Workflow and the graph galleries.
