Michael Chow
I’m a data science tool builder at Posit, where I work on open source tools for data analysis. Previously, I worked as a consultant building out a data team for Caltrans (and love all things GTFS).
I received a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from Princeton University, and am interested in what drives expert data science performance.
