The intricate beauty of the irrationals

Irrational numbers, such as π, φ, e, √2 have infinite, non-repeating digits.

We are coloring each digit of these numbers as dots and connecting the lines between each consecutive digit. The result is animated with D3.js transitions to gradually unveil the intricate beauty of these irrational numbers.

Tissues, stains, and money

Pathology labs use stains to color tissue slides for the identification of possible tumours.

In this diagram, we are rendering the interrelations between tissues and stain orders in order to highlight cost distribution for lab managers.

About me

My name is Charalampos Xanthopoulakis,
I’m a senior software designer, full-stack developer currently based in Eindhoven.

I am a dedicated, enthusiastic and highly-motivated software professional with over 7 years commercial development experience. Formally educated in electrical engineering, computer science and software technology. I have a passion for rapid prototyping, specifically how vague concepts can be put to test.

I feel inspired about making things work in short iterations, building proof of concepts that can quickly validate a certain hypothesis. I am a genuine lover of Ruby on Rails, I adore this short of agile, straightforward way of prototype development.

I started with C/C++ and Java and slided into Ruby on Rails, HTML5, CSS3, D3.js and other Javascript frameworks. Infographeo is about how all these technologies blend in to manifest the beauty of data visualisations.
