Getting Started with Shiny
Do you know a bit of R and have some data you need to visualize quickly? In this blog post we take a look at…
The Datavis team at Bocoup was founded by Irene Ros in 2013. Irene built a team of data visualization and data science experts and together they created precise, engaging, and beautiful interactive data-driven visualizations that communicated clearly and allowed users to derive meaningful insight.
As data scientists, the team explored and analyzed our customers data to find answers to questions about their research, business needs and products. As visualization designers and engineers they prototyped interfaces to explore data interactively and created compelling visualizations to match our customers' goals. As product developers they helped our customers turn their data product visions into reality, building for the web across the full spectrum front-end implementation, full-stack web applications and ETL data pipelines.
We are very proud of the teams work, and excited to see them carry forward our shared values in their new roles. You can read about Bocoup's new direction here.
