Hi, I'm Jon Mease
I care deeply about the future of the open data science technology ecosystem, I’m a contributor to a variety of open source data science projects, I was previously the Chief Scientist at Plotly, and I'm the creator of VegaFusion.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University, and Bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Physics from Millersville University.
For more information on my background, see my CV.
Featured Projects
I created VegaFusion, which provides serverside acceleration of the Vega visualization grammar.
Kaleido is a library for static image export of web-based visualization libraries with zero system dependencies.
I integrated RAPIDS technologies into the Datashader Python library to enable GPU acceleration.
I developed FigureWidget, which integrates Jupyter Widgets functionality into the core plotly Python library. This was released as part of plotly.py version 3.0.
