Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShuai Hao is an associate software engineer in Boston with eight years of experience at the intersection of journalism, data visualization, and front-end engineering. With dual master's training in Journalism and Computer Science from Columbia, he builds interactive dashboards and automated chart generators that turn messy datasets into publishable visuals for reporters and analysts. His portfolio spans newsroom and enterprise environments—CoinDesk, USA TODAY, Caixin, and Moody’s—where he’s shipped zoomable trees, mobile-friendly data stories, and nine-type chart generators that streamline visualization workflows. Comfortable across D3, web frameworks, and data cleaning pipelines, he pairs design sensibility with production-ready engineering. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex research into clear visual narratives, and he brings an editor’s instinct for storytelling informed by hands-on reporting and large-scale data scraping. An uncommon asset is his background as a newsroom chief and photojournalism award-winner, which sharpens his eye for layout and narrative in every engineering decision.
