Stephen Feagin

I’m a data analyst and developer who is passionate about working for social good. I have previously worked as a Data Operations Engineer at Arcadia and a Data Specialist at Connecticut RISE Network.

I primarily work in R for statistics and data science, and I enjoy Python for general programming and web development projects. I always like trying out new languages – I’ve found Go and Julia to be fun and interesting, but I haven’t had the opportunity to apply them in my work. I’m particularly interested in the role that data and software tools can play in non-profits and organizations that advance social good.
