Hey there! My name is Liam and I’m an Assistant Data Scientist at the Inventory & Monitoring Division of the National Park Service. I support ecological research on public lands by maintaining long-term environmental datasets, assisting data managers in Alaska with all stages of the data lifecycle, from collection to publication. Recent projects include configuring a QField application for bald eagle surveys, writing quality control and ETL scripts for water chemistry data, and developing an R-Shiny dashboard to visualize patterns in park visitation.
I grew up in Rochester, New York alongside my four siblings and studied geography and mathematics at Middlebury College. When I’m not at work you can find me jumping on a trampoline, standing on my hands, or playing the piano.
