Summary
Logan Hughes is a data-focused programs and services evaluation specialist with 11 years of experience blending software development, data visualization, and public service. He built robust, gracefully degrading survey platforms early in his career and later led dashboard and visualization efforts at the MBTA, winning a TRB innovation award for an origin-destination tool. More recently he ran Somerville’s Open Data Portal and transformed survey responses into actionable city insights using R, Python, Tableau, and reproducible processes. Known for accessibility-first design—training teams on screen-reader support and colorblind-friendly palettes—he pairs technical chops with clear storytelling for non‑technical audiences. Outside work he channels curiosity into watercolor field painting, birdwatching, and science interpretation, activities that inform his thoughtful, human-centered approach to data.
