Welcome!

My name is Jeff Palmer. Thanks for stopping by.

The first part of my career was defined by technology. For over twenty years I spent my time building software and managing software development teams. You may have heard of some of the things I've worked on: Orbitz, The Climate Corporation, CircleCI. It was a rewarding part of my life that had its highs and lows; I especially enjoyed helping to mentor and grow new leaders.

In 2021 I left that world to pursue my passion for the visual arts. I started by experimenting with data visualization, specifically the visualization of data produced by the software development process. You can see some of these visualization projects in my blog.

Eventually, however, I realized that I was much more interested in the purely visual side of this process, and not so much the data journalism side. I decided to explore generative art (the use of algorithms and randomness to create art) which helped me to realize just how much I enjoy combining my development skills with visual creativity. If you'd like to see more of my work, I maintain a portfolio-focused site here.
