Designing the Tools that Shape Data Science - with Dr Hadley Wickham

The Random Sample

We’re diving into the design and development of the tools that have transformed data science and statistical programming — with none other than Dr Hadley Wickham.

Hadley is the Chief Scientist at Posit (formerly RStudio), where he leads the Tidyverse team. This team is behind some of the most widely used open-source packages in the R programming language — including dplyr and ggplot2. These tools have empowered thousands of data scientists and researchers to explore complex datasets and communicate insights through compelling visualisations.

In this episode, Hadley shares key lessons he’s learnt from over two decades of building and maintaining open-source software. We also look ahead, as he discusses where he sees data science tooling headed — and the principles that will shape its future.

Our host is Cynthia Huang.
