“There’s 10,000 unique components in the car, and production will move as fast as the slowest one..." Indicating the data visualization displayed, he continues, "This is an ICBM strike on Fremont."

-Elon Musk







I created the underlying data and world map design which Elon depicts here, at the Model 3 launch event, describing Tesla's Model 3 component factories globally with lines drawn to Fremont. This was featured in Ars Technica.






My experience has been intellectually challenging as I’ve helped to grow the analytics team and worked with the team to form company-wide KPIs, dashboards and analytics used by Truebill leadership. There are boundless opportunities to have company-wide impact, which makes it exciting to come to work every day.
