Wes McKinney
I’m an entrepreneur and software developer focusing on analytical computing. I’m currently a Principal Architect at Posit. I was a founder of Voltron Data, Ursa Labs (with Posit), and DataPad. I wrote Python for Data Analysis which you can read for free here or buy a copy to support me. I am a Member of The ASF.
I’ve been building software projects since 2008, and building even more now with agentic engineering. My latest projects are msgvault, a tool to archive and search a lifetime of email and chat, and roborev, autonomous continuous code review by background agents. I speak often at conferences and on podcasts.
I am an active angel investor and advisor with my fund Composed Ventures.
