Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Hodges is a Senior Data Visualization Engineer based in Los Angeles with nine years of experience building front-end systems that sit at the intersection of design and code. She specializes in interactive data visualizations and real-time streaming visual systems, having built libraries that generate D3 charts from live data and presented on building visualizations with real-time streams. Her background in graphic design and an MFA informs a strong sensitivity to typography, storytelling, and design systems, which she applies to reusable component libraries and Storybook-driven UI work. She has led front-end architecture for complex products—from tournament bracket systems in React/TypeScript to visualization-focused microservices—and contributed open-source projects and visualization pieces that have been showcased publicly. Comfortable across the stack, she pairs React, D3, GraphQL and modern testing practices with pragmatic backend debugging and data migrations. Her portfolio and code (slhstudio.com, github.com/slhstudio) reveal a consistent focus on clarity, craft, and systems-thinking in data communication.
