Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Hare is a consultant and knowledge-graph engineer with 11 years of experience building data-first products for mission-driven organizations. He combines hands-on Python and JavaScript engineering with product management experience from roles at the Wikimedia Foundation and as a Wikipedian in Residence, where he led large-scale Wikidata migrations and trained hundreds of staff. Currently advising the Internet Archive, he matches Archive metadata to open datasets like Wikidata and shapes data models and APIs to preserve references at scale. Known for seeking novel technologies rather than following trends, he blends Semantic Web expertise with practical tooling to make messy bibliographic and link data interoperable. Based in Portland, Oregon, he brings an unusual mix of community-facing program leadership (including organizing Wikimania) and deep technical craft in knowledge graphs and data engineering.
