Data + Donuts with Edwin Rodarte and Andy Vuong of the LA Public Library

Data + Donuts is a morning speaker series and networking event that brings together the makers and doers changing local government from the ground up by harnessing technology and data to drive meaningful change. It is a joint, collaborative effort between the County of Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles, and the local L.A. civic technology community.

This month, Edwin Rodarte and Andy Vuong of LAPL will discuss special data projects ongoing at the LA Public Library.

Edwin Rodarte is a senior librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library in the Department of Emerging Technologies, where he focuses on technology-driven and data-informed library services. He advocates for inclusive and innovative library services, serving as co-chair of the LGBTQIA Services Committee and the Immigrants Affinity Group, and as Technology Chair for REFORMA, where he works to strengthen library services for Latino and Spanish-speaking communities.

Andy Vuong is a data analyst on the Data & Analytics Team for the Los Angeles Public Library. He has extensive knowledge in data collection, processing, analysis and reporting. He has used his expertise to study several government, data-related projects including materials testing, environmental impact and, now, library services.
