Hi, I'm Tev'n Powers.
I design and build all sorts of things on the web.
These days you'll find me creating websites that feature data-driven storytelling, visual essays, and interactive data visualizations.
Previously, I was an applied data scientist at Microsoft, where I developed language models, crowd data annotation tools, and other features . I also worked at Textio , a startup that builds enterprise writing software, both as an engineering manager and as a senior software engineer responsible for everything from data processing to prototyping and shipping new language features.
With over a decade of professional experience spanning web and mobile app development, data science, and computational linguistics, I'm always seeking new challenges. I find joy in collaborating with partners that think critically and creatively about building technology that empowers, educates, and excites their audiences.
I’m available to work with individuals and organizations of all sizes for contract and part-time opportunities. Let's talk!
Current Projects
- In collaboration with the Equity Research Cooperative , I am in the process of building a visual essay and data dashboard for higher education researchers.

Past Work
- For The Education Trust , I created a collection of dynamic data visualizations to highlight the disparities of the student debt crisis among various student loan borrower demographics. These visualizations are embedded in their Black Student Debt Hub .
- For my work leading the predictive model development for the LinkedIn Resume Assistant, I was part of a team that was granted three patents:
