Top SchoolDavid Riggs is a software engineer with 13 years of experience blending enterprise backend development and cloud infrastructure with deep domain expertise in karst ecosystems and bat acoustics. He has led teams and built data-intensive systems at realtor.com and Leidos, working across Golang, Python, AWS, Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes, while also authoring custom geospatial and acoustic analysis tools for conservation projects. Currently a Graduate Research Assistant at WVU, he applies machine learning and geospatial modeling to cave flooding and karst hydrology, a niche that ties fieldwork to production-grade software skills. His long-term hands-on experience with bat acoustic recording and classification (SonoBat, Kaleidoscope Pro) and cave monitoring programs gives him a rare combination of ecological fieldcraft and scalable engineering.
