Top SchoolWilliam Prescott is a consultant blending 10+ years of software development practice with a decades-long research pedigree in geophysics, specializing in crustal deformation, earthquakes, volcanoes and plate motion. He leads engineering efforts and consulting engagements from Guadalajara, Mexico, pairing full-stack development experience (including a long stint as Lead Developer at Trek Medics) with high-precision geodetic methods developed over a career that includes senior research at the USGS and presidency of UNAVCO.
