Aziz Gibson
About Me
I bang my head against my computer monitor all day (so you don't have to).
Why I Like Being a DataLabbie
I love the wide variety of problems I'm exposed to that help me grow. Making beautiful and informative data visualizations is the primary reason I signed up. I hope to be as cool as ourworldindata.org one day.
I Can Help You With
Pretty much anything! I still have limited experience with GIS and Stata though. Some stuff I've done in the past include: Web Scraping / Automation, cybersec and networking, Linux (mostly Arch and some Nix), command line stuff (I'm a warp.dev evangelist), self-hosting, virtualization (including Docker), Web Dev Frameworks, Databases and Pipelines (mostly InfluxDB-related), and a bunch of other stuff I'm not remembering right now. If you're not sure how you want to approach a big project I'm happy to discuss it with you! Python has a soft spot in my heart but I'm happy to help with R, LaTeX, or Javascript issues as well.
Fun Fact
I'm really into sci-fi (especially Liu Cixin, Iain M. Banks, Ted Chiang, Andy Weir, Neal Stephenson, etc) and strategy games like Civilization and Stellaris. I also know way too much about note-taking apps, if you spend too much time around me I will try to convert you to obsidian.md.
