Data journalist with SBS World News Online

Developing interactive data visualisations, or 'dataviz', is what I focus on at SBS World News. I'm a journalist first who learned to code.

Rather than telling readers what's important, I want to create applications that allow people to explore datasets.

I will aim to share my data, when possible, so people can check my methods.
