Teaching

Data Visualization

Parsons School of Design, Spring 2016.

I developed the syllabus and taught this course combining basics of Data Visualization theory and hands-on coding. The program was split in 3 modules: visualizing for communication, focused on data manipulation and out-of-the-box tools like OpenRefine and CartoDB; visualizing for exploration, with an emphasis on interface design and D3; databases, about archives and server-side apps (NodeJS + MongoDB). Github repo here.

Web Advanced

Parsons School of Design, Fall 2015.

I developed the syllabus and taught an advanced web course focused on designing, building and deploying data-driven Web applications. It combined a mix of theory on interface design and hands-on coding — from front-end (JavaScript, Angular) and back-end (NodeJS) to databases (MongoDB). Github repo here. Student work here.
