"Plotting & Thotting" is a data visualization forum where people can come and participate in presentations, discussions and demonstrations on how to tell stories with data, how to plot one's thoughts and convey information not just accessibly but also creatively. Come watch a professional data scientist walk you through a coding script they used to collect data and process it into a plot that can be shared with others.

Peter Maximilian Fortunato, aka Max Fortune, is a professional data scientist and resident of DC working on the Strategic Routing team of payment processing firm Worldpay. He also directs Solplots, LLC, (@solplots) an analytics consulting and educational media company that organizes the Plotting & Thotting forum and runs social media accounts on Instagram and TikTok. Additionally, Fortunato assists in developing a visualization app and reporting tool for Data Driven Streets, a joint research venture between American University and District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to collect a multitude of data sources and make available their insights to be used in the decision making process for infrastructure improvement and transportation policy that ultimately leads to the realization of zero road deaths.
