NAEL SHIAB

Computational journalist

I’m a Senior Data Producer at CBC/Radio-Canada, based in Montreal, specializing in data analysis, interactive content, and visualizations.

My primary mandate is to publish exclusive, data-driven stories in innovative formats. My programming skills allow me to gather, process, analyze, and visualize data from a journalistic perspective. I also supervise and assist other data journalists with their projects.

Since I am bilingual, I often publish my stories in both English and French. I also appear on TV and radio across CBC/Radio-Canada networks.

I created and maintain the open-source project simple-data-analysis: an easy-to-use and high-performance TypeScript library for tabular and geospatial data analysis.

I am also the creator of the online and open-source course Code Like a Journalist, where I teach how to analyze and visualize data using TypeScript.

I am regularly invited to give talks and trainings, and I’m always interested in connecting with new people — so feel free to reach out! 😊
