Sasha Trubetskoy

Data scientist, cartographer, designer

I’m a Northern Virginia native, currently living in Reston. I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2019 with a B.S. in statistics.

As a geography and data nerd, I make maps in my free time, inspired by the world around me – whatever happens to be on my mind. Every now and then a map of mine becomes popular and gets publicity. Those interested can see my work or get in touch through this website.

I’ve also written a few Quora answers, some of them quite in-depth. I made this site to consolidate my maps, answers, and other creative output.

Got work?

Since graduation, I’ve been working as a freelancer and consultant on a number of mapping and data projects. I am especially interested in transportation networks. If I can help you with your spatial data or mapping needs, I’d love to hear about it! Here is my resume.
