Upcoming O’Reilly Workshop: Building Data Apps with Streamlit and Copilot
On April 14, I’ll be teaching a new 4‑hour live workshop for O’Reilly: Building Data Apps with Streamlit and Copilot. If you work in Python and want to turn your analyses into interactive, shareable tools, this workshop is designed for you. We’ll start from a Jupyter notebook and build a complete Streamlit app that lets […]
acs-nativity: A Python Package for Analyzing Changes in the Foreign-Born Population
President Trump has made reducing illegal immigration and increasing deportations central goals of his second administration (1, 2). This is causing many people to ask: how are these policies changing the country’s population? To help answer that, I built a new open-source Python package called acs-nativity. It provides a simple interface for accessing and visualizing […]
New GeoPandas Tutorial Published on RealPython
I just published a new tutorial on RealPython: GeoPandas Basics: Maps, Projections and Spatial Joins. If you’re interested in using Python to make maps or analyze spatial data, then I recommend checking out the tutorial. It walks you through common geospatial tasks using GeoPandas, one of the most widely used geospatial libraries in Python. Map […]
When One Graph Isn’t Enough: Upcoming Streamlit Workshop

That was the challenge I kept running into as a data scientist and educator. Whether I was exploring US Census trends or trying to make immigration enforcement data more transparent, I found myself wishing […]
Visualizing Border Patrol Encounters Under the Second Trump Administration
Summary: I just updated my Immigration Enforcement Streamlit App with Border Patrol data from the current administration. This post walks through what changed and why it matters. Last week, I published Visualizing 25 Years of Border Patrol Data in Python, which explored long-term trends in Border Patrol “encounters” along the Southwest Land Border. At the time, […]
