Quoctrung Bui

I am the deputy director of graphics at New York Times Opinion where I report, edit and make interactive graphics.
Previously I was a graphics editor for the Upshot at the New York Times and NPR.
Before journalism, I worked at the Federal Reserve Board as a research assistant in the International Finance Division, where I covered the Chinese, Colombian and Russian economies for the emerging markets section.
