Nick Hamlin

Im a data scientist working to help the global aid and philanthopy community use data to make the world a better place. Im an experienced data wonk here to help social good organizations across the globe maximize their impact. Nonprofits and social entrepreneurs do great work every day, but many dont have the resources, tools, or support needed to... make sense of of their data. Thats where I come in. Finding creative ways to make the social sector's data accessible, understandable, and actionable for everyone is what gets me out of bed in the morning When Im not writing code, crunching numbers, or telling stories with data, I'm a proud folk music street performer, coffee nerd, and former worm farmer. What I've been up to lately: Nick has proven himself to be a tremendous technical asset to our organization. He is one of those rare data guys who cannot just crunch the numbers, but can also make them real, understandable, and usable to the non-data-minded crowd. He is an excellent communicator...I learned a great deal about managing software development from Nick. I found him to be a great coach and teacher, and to work well with a diverse non-technical team. I have never met someone so patient and diligent in getting to the bottom of thorny problems...everything Nick Hamlin works on winds up better than it was before he touched it.Read More
