Ask HN: I design datavis but what is my job title?

3 points by mark_integerdsv ↗ HN
I work in the data analysis field. I have a background in BI but I specialise in designing ways to encode data to a visual format.

I'm not a Data Scientist because my mathematical abilities are laughable at best but I do work with statistics and data, especially in the communication of these.

I wouldn't say I have anxiety over it but I would like to be able to tell people my role in a one liner.

I know a rudimentary amount of D3 and various other JS libraries, smattering of Python and lots of experience with Enterprise BI stacks.

...WTF am I?

Data Visualist

Or I'd go with a designer role. Designer within the Data group? Something like that

If $$'s a concern, I'd lean on the data analysis side more-so than design.
