Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Gilmour is a data-focused technologist and co-founder who specializes in crisis response and public-health data infrastructure, with eight years of experience building reliable data pipelines and preservation systems. He co-founded The Impact Project to make government change data more transparent and actionable, leads federal data preservation efforts at Public Environmental Data Partners, and serves as a Visiting Data Scientist at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. His public-health career was catalyzed by hands-on work on the widely used COVID Tracking Project, where he implemented state-specific ETL scripts and solved real-world data integrity issues. Jonathan combines a Computer Science degree from Grinnell with startup-building experience and policy fellowships (Aspen, Rockefeller), bridging technical execution and policy impact. Based in New York, he is as comfortable designing data systems for crisis response as he is in the field—preferring the mountains, sea, or a forest to recharge. A less obvious strength is his track record of operationalizing messy, time-sensitive datasets into auditable tooling that policymakers and researchers can trust.
