Hi there!

My name is Fernando Becerra.

I analyze and visualize data.

My work process is divided in two general stages: exploratory and explanatory. The first step involves a series of tasks like loading the dataset, modeling its variables, and identifying the most relevant information in order to gain useful insights from the data. The second step is about sharing those findings to a broader audience, be it by using static visualizations in reports and presentations or by creating interactive visualizations that engage the user. I believe that by following this approach, understanding the data, and communicating the results, we can empower people to make better data-based decisions.

Before becoming a data science + visualization developer I got a Ph.D. in Astronomy & Astophysics from Harvard University. I worked at Fathom Information Design, and then I traveled in a van through the U.S. and México. My interests span a wide range of subjects such as science, politics, environment, education, and sports. If you are interested in working together, feel free to reach out!
