Isabel Zimmerman & Davis Vaughan

Isabel is a software engineer at Posit, PBC where she works on the Python experience in the Positron IDE. When not thinking about computers, she enjoys reading and teaching her old dog new tricks.

Davis is a Senior Software Engineer at Posit where he works on improving Positron and the tidyverse. He's worked on core R packages like dplyr, tidyr, and vctrs, and more recently has helped build out the R infrastructure that powers Positron. This includes Ark, the Jupyter kernel that powers R code execution and language smarts, and Air, the R code formatter.

I'm a data science educator and community builder who wants to help you cultivate a community of practice for yourself. I talk a lot about the benefits of making genuine human connections, the power of vulnerability, and why we all benefit when we show up as our whole selves. I'm also the host of the Data Humans podcast where my motto is: data science is not one thing.

I love connecting people across the data science community to share what they're accomplishing with data and help others do the same through community discussions, industry meetups, and more.
