My Motivation
My Philosophy
Data
Action needs data – not spreadsheets.
Jailbreak Excel and focus on your goals. With functional data management, pipeline automation & reproducibility.
Science
While growing as a Technologist I finished degrees in Politics, Communication, and Computational Social Science.
I've worked in research, PR, and policy. I'm home in many domains.
Design
What if social research had the appeal and UX of Data-Driven Journalism?
Apply functional Product Design methods, mix it with a modern & sustainable stack and focus on what's relevant.
My Portfolio

Telegram: Chronology of a Radicalization
Concept, UX design, and implementation of a multi-chapter interactive storytelling report. Built with Svelte, Astro and Notion API (CMS). Visual design by parat.cc


Academic Freedom Index
Concept, design, and implementation of a semi-static, self-updating website with Astro, Svelte, and D3. The Hero is an interactive D3-based globe that displays the current Index results in a tooltip. A modal renders time-series data (1900-2022) for 6 metrics. Data is fetched on-demand. Charts can be exported as hi-res screenshots.

Afrozensus Data Explorer
Concept, design, and implementation of a feature-rich full-stack Web App for the Afrozensus survey. Users can explore survey results and group/facet single survey items with socio-demographic variables. Built with SvelteKit, Supabase and a D3 flavour. Data is queried from a Postgres DB. Data engineering by Lisa Reiber.


Svelte: Network Analysis App
Design and development of an interactive Svelte-based standalone module, integrated into a legacy (non-JS) application. Dynamically renders 500+ nodes and 1K+ edges. Receives and sends events to interact with the parent application.








Chemical Weapons - Web Project
My first end-to-end product journey (concept, design, implementation, data pre-processing). Feature-rich static website for a multi-chapter essay & an interactive data portal. Months of intense design and development work. Features: map-based scrollytelling, case study components, timeline, audio snippets.


Information Security 101 - Talk/Workshop
360° introduction to individual and organizational risks and mitigation strategies for not-for-profit organisations.




Design Thinking & Product Vision Sprints
I have successfully facilitated Design Thinking and Product Vision workshops with participants from academia, NGOs and policy. Together, we were able to make the abstract become manifest and actionable.


Nowhere to Hide Report
Three case study maps, highlighting changes in territorial control during selected campaigns of chemical attacks. Two styleguide-compliant bicolor schemes represent gains/losses by rebels and state/regime actors. A full-page illustration outlines the deadly path of a helicopter regiment.
I'm passionate about helping non-profits and startups envision and develop products tailored towards their mission.
I rely on the JAMstack (Svelte|Kit, Astro, Eleventy), pragmatic Design & Sprint thinking, and years of working with data.
I graduated in Social Sciences, completed classes in HCI, Geocomputation, Design Thinking, and Natural Language Processing, and eventually worked as a Tech Lead and Technical Project Manager in the Digital Rights / NGO sector.
