PROFILE
Marcel Gerber
Marcel contributed to the owid-content repository by delivering targeted improvements in data configuration and content management over a three-month period. He standardized tableSlug usage across multiple data explorers, such as Monkeypox and US COVID-19, to unify data referencing and streamline maintenance. Using TSV for configuration management, Marcel also unpublished the US COVID data explorer to strengthen data governance and reduce public data exposure. He performed data hygiene cleanups to ensure consistent explorerSubtitle entries, enhancing UI reliability. Additionally, he simplified the Water and Sanitation Explorer’s setup by removing unused configuration, reducing complexity and improving maintainability for future deployments and onboarding.
