Kimberly Dextras-Romagnino

I completed my Master's degree in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia. I specialized in Information Visualization under the supervision of Tamara Munzner within the InfoVis group. As part of my Master's thesis, I conducted a design study and collaborated with Mobify to develop a clickstream analytics tool. My interests include: data visualization, machine learning, human computer interacton.

I currently work as a Data Scientist at Kabam, a mobile gaming studio in Vancouver!

Selected Projects

Visualization, machine learning

Segmentifier: Interactive Refinement of Clickstream Data

[2018] Designed, implemented, and evaluated a web application for clickstream data analysis to help deal with the complexity of web clickstream data by allowing users to easily filter and transform data into segments of interest that lead to actionable insights and more effective downstream analysis.

Presented at EuroVis 2019.
