Garrick Aden-Buie

Data Science Educator & R Developer

I’m a Data Science Educator and R developer for RStudio. I use R, R Markdown, Shiny, and the tools of data science to make it easier to teach and learn data science with R, primarily through my work supporting the learnr and gradethis packages.

I am passionate about making great-looking, interactive presentations with R Markdown and the xaringan. I’ve created two packages that help you take your slides to the next level:

  • xaringanthemer creates a complete xaringan theme starting from only one or two colors
  • xaringanExtra adds interactivity and extensions that make your presentations better and more effective.

I’ve also contributed to the xaringan package and other R packages in the xaringan ecosystem.

And for the most recent thing I’ve learned (and want to remember), you can find me online at garrickadenbuie.com.
