Westwig

Software Architect, President, and Co-Founder of Polished Analytics

I like working at the intersection of design, mathematics, and software development. With Polished Analytics, I’m excited to bring my vision of powerful, user-friendly Excel tools to life.

I've been building Excel software since 1995. I got my start as a software architect at Palisade Corporation, an early pioneer of Excel-based analytical tools, including the widely used simulation package @RISK.
