Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce Dan Andreescu will join the Analytics team today as our new Javascript/UI engineer. In this role, he will be taking on development of Limn[1], our data visualization and dashboard building toolkit. He is also going to be responsible for the front-end for Kraken[2], the self-servicing data platform that is being developed by the Analytics team. Dan studied Computer Science at Cornell University and he is a builder at heart. He is passionate about designing and building almost anything: furniture, software, tools and houses. An example of this is his work with Earthship[3]: radically sustainable buildings made with recycled materials. Clearly, Dan loves working on big problems and that's why we are so excited to have him join the Foundation (and the Analytics Team in particular)! Dan is based out of Philadelphia, and is on IRC as "milimetric". Please join me in welcoming Dan!
