About the Speakers
Colin Miller mostly grew up in Austin, Texas, where he developed an early interest in software & maps. After his freshman year of college, he launched his first startup, Redistricter, which took off far faster than expected. He left school & moved to New York to pursue it full-time.
A year later, he created Subway Builder, a hyper-realistic game that lets players design subway systems from scratch while navigating real-world constraints & costs. The game simulates millions of commuters using Census & Redistricter data, powered by the same pathfinding algorithms people rely on to get to work. Your job is to design a route network that gets the most people to their destination as fast as possible.
Greg Feliu is a data engineer & analyst focused on transportation analytics, with projects ranging from modeling subway-bus transfers to clustering NYC subway stations by ridership. Drawing on public ridership data & GTFS schedules, he builds minimal-assumption models to estimate ridership on each subway line, combining data modeling with subject-matter expertise to reveal how New Yorkers move through the system.
