Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuc Guillemot is a Senior Data Visualization Developer with 13 years of experience blending GIS, interaction design, and front-end engineering to turn complex spatial and multidimensional data into clear, engaging visuals. Based in Berlin, he currently shapes how journalists and analysts explore data at Datawrapper after roles as an interaction designer, freelancer, and researcher. His PhD and postdoc work in geography and cartography inform a rigorous, research-driven approach to visualization—evident in tools he built for automatic colormap assignment and interactive D3.js storytelling of neighborhood change. Comfortable with R, D3, and web technologies, he bridges academic methods and product-focused design to produce reproducible, publication-quality maps and interfaces. Notably, his background spans both humanities-informed theory and hands-on compression and data-processing work from earlier geospatial projects. He’s driven by a love of data visualization and a track record of turning scholarly insights into practical, user-centered visualization products.
