Queensland, Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGerardo Furtado is a Typescript and D3 specialist with eight years of focused experience building interactive, data-driven visualizations for UN OCHA and other clients. He combines deep practical D3.js expertise with a background in biology and two decades of teaching, which gives him a rare ability to translate complex data into clear, educational visuals. His portfolio of live examples demonstrates work from basic charts to geospatial encodings and user-manipulable interfaces that improve decision-making and business intelligence. Gerardo also brings a scholarly curiosity—publishing a book on evolutionary biology and earning awards for short fiction—that informs his clarity of storytelling through data. Based in Queensland, Australia, he pairs academic training in computer science with hands-on consultancy experience, making him equally comfortable prototyping independently or delivering production-grade visualizations for humanitarian contexts.
