Hi there. I’m Marc. I have a passion for interactive data and model exploration as well as data apps. I was looking for a powerful framework to use in Python. The best I’ve found is Panel. It still needs a lot of improvement though, so I ended up as a contributor.
I run https://awesome-panel.org (and https://awesome-streamlit.org :-)) and maintain a bunch of Panel related packages, repositories and gists. See github/marcskovmadsen.
What interests me is in particular is 1) being able to collaborate across VS Code, PyCharm, Jupyter and similar environments for people of all skills 2) being able to develop something top notch beautiful and performant 3) being able to utilize modern Python (typehints, async, fast api etc.) 4) being very easy to use 5) and having fun together as a community. There is still some way to go 
But its getting there.
I try to do my best promoting Panel and Holoviz. Trying to help create a community. So you can find me posting on twitter and LinkedIn.
In my work life I work for Ørsted, the most sustainable energy company in the world four years in a row. My current title is lead trading analyst. My previous was lead data science developer. So I work in that space. I’ve been responsible for developing Market Tradings analytics environment based on k8s, azure and Jupyterhub. So I’m also very motivated by making Panel easy and powerful to use in that environment. For example I was so happy to see the Jupyter Panel Preview come alive. It’s so useful when you work in Jupyterlab on a cloud platform. I also see Jupyter and easy to use data app frameworks like Panel as a key component for transitioning from something Excel and BI Tools can handle to Big Data, Data Science and AI for all kinds of domain experts be it analysts, scientists, engineers, traders etc.
In my private life I enjoy my family (Christel, Laurits, Gustav and Asger), my dog (Dina) and physical activity (cycling, running, kayaking). My son Asger plays a lot of badminton so I spend a lot of time with him in badminton halls all over Denmark.

When you read this please also write something about your self and why you are interested in HoloViz. And then ping some else you would like to tell their story. Thanks.
