Data is at the core of Uber's business and is fundamental for making informed decisions. The mission of the Visualization team at Uber is to deliver intelligence through the crafting of visual exploratory data analysis tools. To meet these needs, the team developed an open source visualization stack.
In this talk Nicolas Garcia Belmonte, Head of Data Visualization at Uber, will give a brief overview of the Visualization team, their history, mission, and the most challenging problems they tackle. Followed by a deep dive into their core open source components and libraries that power most data products at Uber. He'll present their abstract and scientific data visualization stack, focusing on deck.gl, a WebGL framework for high-performance visualizations.
