Barret Schloerke
Senior Software Engineer
hello()! Dr. Barret Schloerke is a Senior Software Engineer at Posit who has spent nearly two decades convincing computers to make data beautiful, interactive, and well tested — preferably all three at once. As a core contributor to Shiny, he has helped shape
{shiny}
,
{shinytest2}
,
{reactlog}
, and
{plumber}
on the R side, extended that work into
Shiny for Python
with its testing infrastructure, bookmarking, and interactive data frame experience, and most recently brought built-in
OpenTelemetry
support for production observability to both platforms.
Beyond Shiny, his open-source portfolio spans AI tooling (
{ellmer}
,
{shinychat}
,
{querychat}
), data visualization (
{GGally}
,
{trelliscopejs}
), and API tooling (
{gqlr}
).
