Elijah Meeks has spent the past two decades working with data visualization at some of the most dynamic organizations in the world, including Stanford, Netflix, and Apple. He cofounded Noteable, a start-up focused on the intersection of computational notebooks, business intelligence, and AI. He was also the cofounder and is the current publications director of the Data Visualization Society, a professional society dedicated to advancing the field of data visualization. At present, he is a principal engineer at Confluent.

Elijah is a prolific writer and speaker on the topic of data visualization, including authoring D3.js in Action from Manning and creating the Pearson video series Designing for the Data Visualization Lifecycle. He is the author of libraries such as Semiotic, as well as interactive works such as ORBIS: The Transportation Network Model of the Roman Empire.

Anne-Marie Dufour has an original background in mechanical engineering, computational fluid dynamics, and frontend development. She specialized in data visualization to combine her love for science, coding, design, and teaching. This unique skill set has helped her develop a solid understanding of how data visualization can help us grasp complex phenomena and realities and how to translate them into modern web applications. She currently works as a data visualization engineer at PingThings.

While teaching diverse engineering subjects such as fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and the environmental and social impacts of engineering projects, she developed a strong sense for how to structure information and present it in a digestible yet challenging way to keep students motivated and eager to learn. Recently she has created the liveProject series Interactive Visualization with D3.js for Manning Publications.
