Hello. I am Alan Keahey and Holistic Sofa is my platform for consulting and sharing discoveries and viewpoints about the rapidly evolving and mutually revolving technologies surrounding digital images.  I have a Ph.D. in Computer Science with a specialization in information visualization, and more than 10 years of work experience leading state of the art visualization projects.  That experience crosses a wide range of sources from National Labs to Bell Labs spinoffs to my own R&D contract and consulting companies; and includes a broad array of visualization categories including information, networks (communications, financial and social), fraud and intelligence analysis and scientific data.  My roles in these projects cover the full project lifecycle including initial funding procurement, team management, technical design, programming, project management and administration.

I have extensive academic credentials with many papers published and chair positions held in international conferences.  I also have a great deal of experience in industry running a company to create innovative yet practical products for demanding customers, and understand fully the pressures to produce value with superior results on time and within budget.  

I am available for consulting and other jobs, and would be happy to have an initial discussion via phone or email to explore how my skills and experience might benefit your organization.  Please contact me via this form to get the discussion started.
