Hello there 👋

Hi there. I'm arrrrrmin and this is my blog-ish web presence. I'm a data engineer and visualisation enthusiast. Be warned this is a bit of tech-nerdy site. You get to see lots of D3js, Plot and Observable. Pipelines and data handling in general are part of my daily life, so it's always part of what you see here.

Data visualisations

Since this is mainly my private hobby space, I view and analyse data visualisations as often as I can. There are multiple sections for the topic. For example I currently learn how visualisations can trick readers into misleading, false or suggestive impressions. You can find my journey on that in Learning chart design.

From time to time I try to reenforce my learning by typing to redesign work done by charting or DDJ professionals. You can find theses in the section Redesigns.

Most contents on this site are educational for me and hopefully for others as well. If you want, you can replicate the data used by taking a look at the Git repository where I try to always include the steps to build the data files used.

Not writing about AI

I'm explicitly not writing about AI. Since I used to work in the data science genre and don't want to do this anymore I decided to not mention AI at all. There are way to many peope out there writing about it. But one thing: We really need to think about the way we treat fellow human beings. Especially creatives and artists! They are threatened with unemployment and nobody is caring for them in any matter - like it's normal that tech companies profit on the back of the exact people, they stole from.

Freelancing

As a freelancer I mostly do data works. Recent projects involed full-stack development with data focus. I'm used to work with most types of DBs, Python, FastAPI, ETL pipelines and when possible I really love working on visualisation projects. So If you need help with any of these topics and you need a freelancer, send me a mail.

Contact

I'm interested in working with others, so if you have a project where I might be helpful, tell me about it. Either send me a mail hello[at]arrrrrmin.dev but I'm best reachable via Mastodon or Bluesky. If you'r primary platform is LinkedIn I can also handle it, but please notice I don't often visite.
