About

Hey there, I'm Liam. This is a collection of projects that I've built, including my own personal explorations, and projects that I've built for other people and companies.
I'm currently a first-year at UNC Chapel Hill studying economics and public policy. I came out of high school with a background in engineering, which has helped me build these projects.
My biggest project is Life At, a campus organizer for schedules, deadlines, maps, friends, and goals. It started at UNC and now supports five campuses plus an iPhone app.
The Stock Dojo is a portfolio simulator with live market data and an interactive lesson curriculum. It's designed as a gateway into learning about the stock market without taking on any of the associated risk. The ROC Wine Directory is a catalog of every Regenerative Organic Certified wine in the world: a searchable directory, a winery map, and a bottle guide. I built it for the Regenerative Organic Alliance.
When I'm not working on these projects, I like to play ping-pong, pickleball, go to the gym, and play soccer. I love traveling, trying new foods and experiences, and learning more about business and the world around us. Feel free to reach out with any of the links below!
