James Goldie (he/him)

I'm a data journalist, visualisation engineer, climate researcher and developer.

I'm available for hire! Let's chat.

Data journalism

I worked at 360info for three years as the Data and Digital Stroytelling Lead, publishing interactive, data-driven graphics under Creative Commons. Before that I built data pipelines and graphics to communicate climate change. Some of my more ambitious visuals include:

A few things I've built

  • Closeread: easy scrollytelling in Quarto
  • Sverto: add Svelte components in Quarto and have them react to Observable JavaScript
  • Is it hot right now?: compare today's heat across Australia to what's typical
  • collateral: tidily capture side effects in R
  • ggflags: add country flags to your ggplots
  • stickylabeller: quickly number and label ggplot facets

Looking for more of my work? Check out my repos or my website.
