Hi, I'm Uma. I love turning messy data into something people can trust and explore: the pipelines underneath, the maps and interactive sites on top, and lately the AI agents that help me build both. I'm happiest learning a new tool by shipping something real with it.

  1. U.S. counties by drug overdose death rate in a magma ramp on a dark basemap, quintile classes
    ctzn-geo

    Live maps of U.S. metros at five nested census levels, every U.S. county with presidential returns, European regions (Eurostat NUTS 0-3) and world countries, built to show how choices of geography, classification, color and form change what the same data appears to say.

    US, Europe, world

  2. Ridgeline of county presidential margins by election, 1976 to 2024, Republican red left of even and Democratic blue right
    CTZN Viz

    A gallery of 34 figures on American elections, campaign money, public opinion and health. Each makes one claim, gives the reader the control that would break it, and says what it cannot show; every chart behind them installs from the registry.

    34 figures, 50 registry items

  3. Average hourly earnings in blue jumping 8.1% at the 2020 shutdowns while the gold price line stays flat
    chatFRED

    A chat terminal over 4,955 FRED series, with chart tools the model calls mid-conversation, and a Presidential Scoreboard that grades nineteen postwar terms on six indicators, percentile-ranked on the curve.

  4. Map of New York with each college as a dot colored by sector: public, private nonprofit, for-profit
    College Ledger

    A profile page for every U.S. higher-ed institution in the Department of Education's College Scorecard: net price by income, completion and earnings, thirty years of trend data, joined against IPEDS.

    6,273 institution pages

  5. U.S. ZIP codes shaded by overall health burden, pale yellow to deep red, on a dark basemap
    Health of America's ZIP Codes

    A ZIP-code-level atlas of health outcomes, deprivation, and demographics: CDC PLACES estimates, the Area Deprivation Index, ACS, and two political layers, joined into one parquet.

    32,409 ZIP/ZCTA rows

  6. U.S. counties shaded by 2024 presidential margin, deep red to blue, on a cream background
    The American Political Almanac

    Every U.S. presidential election since 1868, county by county: 116,909 county-year records, a dual-mode cartogram and geographic choropleth, five era essays, and a page for every one of 76 candidates with a licensed portrait.

    3,172 counties, 40 elections

  7. Small multiples of overdose deaths by state as a share of its own peak, labeled with the percent
    The Reversal

    U.S. drug overdose deaths, 2015-2026, from CDC's provisional overdose surveillance: a national curve, drug-class breakdowns, a tile map and decline tracker, and an explorer for all 53 jurisdictions.
