about me
hola again 馃憢馃徏 I鈥檓 Sergio S谩nchez Zavala, a hip hop head, data nerd, and policy wonk from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
I currently work at TalkingPoints, a non-profit that helps families and schools communicate better across language barriers.
I鈥檓 also the creator of tacosdedatos.com, a platform that offers data analysis and visualization resources in Spanish.
tacosdedatos se encuentra en construcci贸n
tacosdedatos inici贸 como un blog en github pages. para facilitar la colaboraci贸n de personas con menos experiencia en git creci贸 a su propia plataforma utilizando forem. desafortunadamente siendo yo una sola persona no he podido darle el cuidado necesario a esta comunidad. la plataforma tambi茅n atrae mucho spam de bots que crean una cuenta y escriben posts promoviendo cosas ajenas a la misi贸n del espacio. todo esto vive en unos servidores en digital ocean los cuales tengo que pagar cada mes. es por eso que estoy reimaginado tacosdedatos y lo que puede ser.
My passion is to make research clear and easy to understand, and I鈥檓 working on developing accessible, open-source tools.
I have a background in Economics and International Relations from the University of California, Davis, and I mix public policy insights with technical expertise to make a positive impact through data.
When I鈥檓 not working, I like to play with IoT projects and use open-source hardware like Raspberry Pi to bring my ideas to life.
I believe in simple, thoughtful design and I try to make complex solutions easier to understand. Whether it鈥檚 building a new application or fixing a line of code, I鈥檓 always looking for ways to improve things.
Thanks for stopping by!
