Biography
Trained as a sociologist, Joe started with ISRDI as a researcher working with Current Population Survey (IPUMS CPS) and American Community Survey / Census (IPUMS USA) data, as well as working on the user support team before ultimately being transmogrified into a software developer.
At ISRDI Joe has worked with microdata researchers to develop data management software, optimize data processing, and turning round holes into square holes (to better accommodate our round pegs… or wait… dang it!). This work has brought him into contact with Python, Ruby on Rails, Rust, Docker, Jenkins, and Perl.
