My name is George Peckham-Rooney and I am a librarian currently working with data via SQL. I have had many different titles (Data Specialist, Business Analyst, and Data Analyst) yet every position leverages my librarian skills in some way or another.

If you’re interested in learning more about me or my work then check out the about page and look over my blog posts, which cover such topics as databases, knowledge management, and librarianship.
