Summary
Robert Nicely is a Digital Designer/Developer and principled leader with eight years of hands-on experience blending human-centered psychology and advanced data visualization to create expressive, technically rigorous work. He leads teams and departmental operations while building open-source-friendly solutions—favoring source-compiled Gentoo/Funtoo Linux environments—to power big-data visualizations and custom computations in Python using tools like Bokeh, Holoviews, Datashader and Dask. At Nicely Done he applies animation, vocalization, and 3D MMD techniques to create artificial performers with presence, reflecting a rare mix of creative production and engineering. CITI-certified in human-subjects research, he brings a humanistic and biological psychology perspective to product design and team development, prioritizing principled leadership and measurable learning outcomes. Based in Gilbert, AZ, he is equally comfortable optimizing large-scale analytics pipelines and crafting expressive digital experiences that bridge technical depth and empathetic design.
