Hey,
I’m Roger Filmyer, a Data Scientist at Akamai on the Web Security team.
I love everything from visualization to analysis, and the ability to see new information in interesting ways. I just got my Master’s in Data Science from New College of Florida. Before this, I was a data analyst at Turo.
In my spare time, I enjoy photography, travelling, and just walking around the city.

Strava Heatmaps in Haiti

When focused on countries like Djibouti, Syria, or Somalia, the map clearly shows Western military outposts that might otherwise be nondescript airstrips, near-impossible to find in vast desert expanses… So much cool stuff to be done. Outposts around Mosul (or locals who enjoy running in close circles around their houses): pic.
