Summary
John Mcguire is an applied meteorologist and environmental data manager with 11 years of experience building web dashboards, web mapping, and backend tooling to support climate and weather data operations. Based at the State Climate Office of North Carolina, he oversees ingestion, metadata, and 3-D/4-D environmental datasets while maintaining databases and services that power regional climate products. Technically fluent in PHP, Python, JavaScript, bash and a range of legacy scientific tools (Fortran, NCL, Perl), he bridges operational meteorology, WRF modeling, and full-stack web development. His graduate research on high-resolution data assimilation in the Upper Yadkin Valley informs a practical focus on turning complex atmospheric reanalysis into reliable, usable products. Notably, he combines hands-on system administration with front-end product delivery, making him equally comfortable debugging server scripts as polishing user-facing climate visualizations.
