Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Brier is a Data Services Librarian and former PhD candidate in Information Studies with a decade of experience at the intersection of people, platforms, and infrastructure. He blends hands-on technical skills—from full‑stack development and system administration to data wrangling—with deep UX and qualitative research expertise gained teaching and running studies at institutions like UMD, University of Michigan, and the University of Gothenburg. Jonathan focuses on sociotechnical systems that advance open science, usable information access, and community-centered platform design, having helped build Sweden’s national citizen science portal and advised SciStarter. Comfortable moving between strategy, policy, and implementation, he excels at improving data quality, shaping information architecture, and mentoring teams to share knowledge openly. Based in Marietta, Ohio, he brings a pragmatic, socially minded approach to projects that marry technical rigor with civic impact. An unassuming detail: he routinely bridges academic research methods with production development practices, making messy real‑world data useful and actionable.
