Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSaurabh Datar is a full-stack software engineer and journo-coder with a decade of experience building data-driven web applications, ETL pipelines, and backend APIs that power reader-facing tools and visualizations. He blends newsroom instincts with engineering rigor, turning complex datasets into clear stories using tools from Vue.js and Flask to D3, Pandas, and SQL. Comfortable across the stack, he ships production services in Node/Express and Rails while orchestrating infrastructure on AWS and mapping projects with QGIS and Mapbox. His skill set spans scripting and analysis (Python, R, Bash) to polished visual outputs (Illustrator, Tableau, ggplot2), enabling end-to-end delivery from raw data to finished graphics. Based in the New York City area and educated at Stanford, Saurabh brings a journalist’s curiosity and a developer’s discipline to make data accessible and actionable. An often-overlooked strength is his multimedia toolkit—audio and video editing experience that helps package stories beyond code and charts.
