About Me

Iโ€™m Liam, a Computer Science and Business student at the University of Michigan, from Washington D.C.

Iโ€™m passionate about tackling complex problems and diving deep into data. With experience in Product Management and Consulting, I bring a blend of analytical and strategic skills to my projects - more on those below!

In my free time, I love playing sports (lacrosse, soccer, and basketball are my favorites), hiking, and getting lost in a good book โ€” right now some of my favorite books are Thinking Fast and Slow, Sapiens, and All the Light We Cannot See. I also love to cook and travel; I spent a summer as a chef in a restaurant in Tuscany, Italy - where I got to sharpen my skills and my palate.
