About · The Dive Team
TheCrew
Data Divers is a small company out of Texas. We teach people to read data, we build the apps we wished we had, and we go wherever the work takes us, which has turned out to be most of the map. Four of us, one boat.
10m · Founder & CEO
Celia
Curiosity comes first. Celia has spent more than twenty years showing that once people get curious about their data, confidence follows and decisions get made. She has built learning teams, curricula, and global programs that help people get comfortable with complicated technology.
She started Data Divers in 2018 and still teaches every cohort herself, from Australia to Wimbledon, and everywhere in between. She's a Tableau Ambassador, a conqueror of semantic models, and an advocate for AI in analytics workflows. She co-leads the Austin and San Francisco Tableau User Groups (TUGs), and she advises other TUGs as they launch and thrive.

Christine
Christine keeps the ship running: logistics, scheduling, payroll. If it keeps the crew afloat, she's on it. She came aboard in 2022 as a business analyst and instructor assistant. Now she is the Director of Operations.
She is also an operating room nurse, a legal nurse consultant, and a Divemaster. Her passion for teaching new divers, baby nurses, orientees, and med students now pours into her educational games. Her take: kids learn by playing... Why did we stop as adults?

Connor
Connor works in all things infrastructure and application deployment, and likes simplifying the world of learning and development. He looks after the hosting, pipelines, and deploys that keep everything Data Divers publishes online and fast.
By day he is a technical support engineer who has kept Terraform Enterprise running for customers on Kubernetes, virtual machines, and every major cloud, including the air-gapped ones. If it can be provisioned, he has probably debugged it.

Cooper
Programmer, educator, divemaster. Cooper leads the engineering behind the Data Divers apps, from the first sketch to the app stores, and built this site. Before that he was the Python subject-matter expert here, authoring more than 290 hours of curriculum on data analysis, visualization, and storytelling.
He builds web apps for a living, including Tacets, the home for music ensembles he wished his own band had, and spends his spare time on games and VR. He is also a dancer, which explains the rhythm in the code.
