Top SchoolLars Verspohl is a data analyst and data visualisation engineer with over a decade of experience turning survey, customer and media usage data into engaging, audience-focused stories and interactive displays. As founder of Datamake and former Head of Research at MTG, he blends rigorous statistical modelling with thoughtful UI and visual design to make insights intuitive and actionable. He specializes in exploratory interactives, humane interfaces and visualization engineering using JavaScript/D3, R and practical data tooling, while also applying supervised and unsupervised learning, segmentation and text analysis.
