About

I’m Alex Wein. I work as a data engineer in San Francisco. Here are a few things I’m nerdy about:

  • R’s Tidyverse
  • Data Visualization
  • Pop Music
  • Linguistics
  • Tax Policy
  • Functional Programming

Some of those overlap, as they did in my Tapestry Conference talk “Charts as Utterances”, on the linguistics of data visualization. You can watch the video, read the slides or browse the github repo.

My gmail address is alexwein, and I also toot sometimes at vis.social.
