Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSage Lichtenwalner is a research programmer and UX designer with 11 years of experience translating coastal observatory data into operational products, interactive web tools, and classroom-ready activities at Rutgers University. He blends data management and visualization skills (Python, Matlab, d3.js, Leaflet) with front-end frameworks (CakePHP, Vue.js) to deliver more than three dozen interactive data explorations and over a dozen sites used by K–16 students, teachers, and researchers. As Co-PI on multiple NSF-funded projects, he focuses on increasing ocean data literacy through tutorials, trainings, and curriculum-integrated activities that make real-time ocean data approachable. Comfortable leading small developer teams and building internal data review portals, he pairs pragmatic product management with hands-on development. A not-obvious strength is his long-term continuity across Rutgers ocean-observing programs—bringing institutional knowledge that smooths transitions from research data to public-facing education tools.
