Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCaitlin Ostroff is a data reporter at the Wall Street Journal in New York who blends traditional beat reporting on finance and markets with hands-on engineering skills in Python, R and Node.js. Over nine years she has used web scraping, large-scale data analysis and security-minded tooling to break investigations—from Mar-a-Lago coverage to election and healthcare probes—turning complex datasets into clear, impactful stories. She began her data-reporting career at the Miami Herald and has a track record of teaching herself the technical skills needed to pursue records and stories others couldn’t. Comfortable across newsroom roles from investigations to markets coverage, she brings a journalist’s curiosity and a developer’s persistence to uncovering systemic issues hidden in messy data.
