I'm Ryan Best, and I'm a Data Visualization Specialist. I'm excited about using technology and design to make data visual, beautiful, and intuitive. I design and build data visualizations that help us tell stories, understand complex information and make informed decisions. I'm a self-taught coder in JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Python, Ruby and other technologies. I particularly love using d3. Currently a Senior Graphics Developer at The Athletic. Formerly The Associated Press, FiveThirtyEight, Bloomberg Graphics and Parsons.

I live in Brooklyn and enjoy watching soccer (especially the Premier League), biking and record collecting.
