Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolScott Mccallum is a mapping and data visualization researcher with six years of experience translating transit and urban data into usable products and publications. Currently a Research Assistant at the University of Toronto's School of Cities and editor at Scaffold* Journal, he blends spatial analysis, UX research, and technical product management to shape open-source transit tools and documentation. His work at MobilityData spanned CI/CD, content strategy, and moderation of GTFS repositories, reflecting a rare mix of developer workflows and stakeholder-facing communication. Trained in urban planning (Concordia) and architecture (University of Toronto MArch), he combines design sensibility with rigorous data methods in R and QGIS. Scott’s GitHub-facing interest in “building spatial interactions” signals a focus on interactive geospatial experiences rather than only static maps. He’s as comfortable drafting technical proposals and academic manuscripts as he is implementing pipelines and contribution processes for open-source projects.
