I'm Noah,
a researcher and software developer interested in studying the future of work and the impact of data on society. I received my B.A. from Oberlin College in 2025 with High Honors and majors in Computer Science and Politics, a minor in Mathematics, and a concentration in Data Science.
I've developed a robust skillset in geospatial analysis and quantitative social science, and I'm adept at handling massive datasets. In my undergraduate Honors project I explored a new methodology for quantitatively approximating political ideology using the relationships between politicians on Twitter/X. My other undergraduate research included more than two years in a transportation-oriented data science lab, developing a software tool to parse congressional hearing transcripts, and spending a summer as an NSF REU student at Carnegie Mellon University, where I studied the impact of a Mozilla layoff on open source software communities.
I am honored to have been recognized for my work as an undergraduate. I was awarded Oberlin College's 2025 Nexial Prize, given to an outstanding science student with aspirations for pursuing interdisciplinary research. I also received the Aaron Wildavsky Memorial Prize in Politics, awarded to an outstanding graduating senior specializing in American politics and public policy, and the R.J. Thomas Prize for excellence as a computer science research assistant.
I'm currently contracting as a full-stack web developer, building a data analysis app for a political consulting firm. I've also worked as a tutor, grader, web designer, and interned as a digital organizer for a campaign for mayor of Providence, RI.
