Welcome to my website!

Hi! I'm Liam and this is my website! This is currently just a side project and is still very much under development, but feel free to check back occasionally to see what's changed.

About Me

Career

I am currently working as a Data Scientist at BWX Technologies in Lynchburg, VA, where I have had the oportunity to get almost everything I ever wanted out of a Computer Science job. I have been reaching into all sorts of different fields in the realm of CS, from full-stack development to database design to machine learning. Granted, this position is supposed to be focused on data science, so I don't expect that level of variety to continue indefinitely. In order to maintain my programming skills and further my abilities as a Software Engineer, I am also currently searching for a remote, part-time development position.

Academics

I graduated from Liberty University this past May with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I completed dual concentrations in Software Engineering and Data Science, as well as a minor in Mathematics. I am planning on returning to school in the near-ish future to earn a graduate degree(s) - likely a Master of Computer Science (MCS) and/or a Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS).

Hobbies and Interests

Trumpet

I have played trumpet for over 13 years and was a member of my schools' concert and marching bands all through middle school, high school, and college. In 2022, I toured and competed in the DCI circuit with the Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps (FHNSAB), and am currently considering auditioning for DCA corps for the 2025 season (and beyond). Since graduating, I have continued to practice trumpet on my own in my spare time, but I have been searching for local groups to join to maintain some sense of structured playing.

Disc Sports

During my final year at Liberty, I played club sports as a member of the Liberty University Men's Ultimate Frisbee team. I then tried out for and made the practice squad for the Lynchburg Legion Ultimate Frisbee Team this past season. Hopefully I'll be able to continue playing for Legion in future seasons and possibly even go back to school in time to get a few more years of collegiate play.

I also began playing disc golf back in March of this year, and I recently had the chance to play in my first ever PDGA tournament. I competed in the Mixed Amateur 4 (MA4) division and actually managed to place 6th out of 17 with a score of +9 through 27 holes! I had an absolute blast and fully intend to continue improving my game and competing in PDGA-sanctioned events.
