About Me
Hi I’m Shradha Dinesh

I’m passionate about producing accountability journalism with data.
I’m looking for my next gig as a journalist-developer
I’m interested in data as a source for accountability journalism, focusing on creating original datasets/databases and analyses with statistics/machine learning, remotely sensed data, and data visualization. In 2024, I graduated from William & Mary with a degree in data science.
Currently (since January 2025): data fellow @ McClatchy DC/Miami Herald
