Xan Gregg is a Distinguished Engineering Fellow with over two decades of experience building high-performance data visualization and analytics software, currently crafting C++-based features at JMP. He blends deep technical expertise in C++, Java/XML, and UX with a strong foundation in data science—authoring a data science blog and inventing a novel chart type (Packed Bars). His career includes standards work as an editor in the W3C XML Schema working group and senior architecture roles at TIBCO and SAS, reflecting both systems-level thinking and practical product delivery. Xan is a thoughtful communicator who presents at plenary conferences ("All Graphs Are Wrong, but Some Are Useful") and focuses on making complex data interpretable through well-designed visual interfaces. Based in Chapel Hill, he pairs academic grounding in computer engineering with a knack for turning principled visualization ideas into shipped software.
