Senior🎓
Top SchoolAric Chokey is a Python developer and civic technologist based in Denver with 11 years of experience turning public data into compelling stories and tools. Currently building data-driven products at OpenSecrets, he previously blended reporting and technical skills as a data journalist and government reporter at the Sun Sentinel and Associated Press. His background spans journalism, UX, multimedia production, and data visualization, giving him a strong sense for user-focused design and clear narrative in data work. Comfortable with end-to-end projects—from data collection and analysis to web delivery—he brings newsroom rigor to reproducible, civic-minded engineering. An often-overlooked strength is his hands-on experience in production workflows (video, photography, and UX research), which sharpens his attention to detail in both code and presentation.
