Mapping Your Network: A Live Coding Series on Visualizing LinkedIn Connections with AI
Get ready to dive into the world of network visualization with Johann Villalvir!
Join us for a multi-part live coding series, starting on Monday, September 30th, from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM PDT, where we’ll begin building a LinkedIn network visualizer, step by step. Over the next few weeks, each session will guide you through the process of creating a powerful tool to map your connections by industry—an insightful way to understand the reach and potential of your professional network.
Whether you're brainstorming your next big product idea or simply curious about the power of your network, this series offers the perfect opportunity to see who's in your corner and how they can help you unlock new opportunities. As AI continues to revolutionize the way we build, understanding your network's distribution is more important than ever.
What to Expect:
In the first session, we’ll start with the basics—gathering your LinkedIn data and laying the groundwork for the visualizer. Each subsequent week, we’ll dive deeper into the code, introducing AI-driven features and refining the visualizer. By the end of the series, you’ll have a complete tool that provides a clear, interactive view of your network.
Future Sessions:
Enhancing your network map with AI-powered insights
Automating visualizations for larger datasets
Customizing your map to highlight key connections and opportunities
Interactive and Collaborative Format:
This isn’t a step-by-step tutorial, but a hackathon-style session where we work through the process of building from scratch, emphasizing creativity and problem-solving. You’re encouraged to ask questions along the way, and all cameras will need to be turned on to keep the atmosphere interactive and to avoid disruptions.
Tools You’ll Need:
Node.js installed
Cursor AI
Your LinkedIn data (make sure to request this in advance!)
