Can datavis at GitHub?

Hi there!

I’m a developer/designer hybrid, a Django core dev (and lead designer for same), and a generally polyglot creative geek. For a while now, I've been fantasizing about storytelling with data at GitHub. My last startup didn't work out, and I'm coming to SF for a week to meet with potential employers.

Here are a few things I’ve done recently:

  • http://bit.ly/polyglots — visualizing GitHub’s polyglot developers. A fun research project, very much a work-in-progress, but already some fascinating stories surfacing there. I gave a talk on the process of doing this at PyCon 2013.
  • http://pushpin.io — analytics for geo.
  • http://telostats.com — Hebrew (apologies), a visualization of Tel Aviv's municipal bike share.
  • http://gist.io — gist-based writing for hackers. Fairly popular little tool.

For good form, more about me: http://gazit.me. My CV is at http://gazit.me/cv.

I’m located in Tel Aviv, but I’ll be in SF from the 12th to the 18th, inclusive. I know you're in Portland, but I was hoping we might get a chance to Skype while I'm in SF (I'm flying out tonight), and maybe meet other people in SF who are on the datavis, er, "team"? For whatever you call the self-assembling units of githubbers.

Bottom line, I’d really love to sit down and talk about what you're up to, and how I might be a part of it.

Cheers,

Idan
