Projects & Experience

  • Life At's home: the wordmark over Duke, Penn State and Charlotte, “Your college life all in one place”, and the board on a laptop and a phone
  • The whole Life At phone screen: Saturday's corkboard with the dinner event, three tasks due and two pinned notes, above the tab bar
  • “Choose your campus”: the Old Well, NC State's bell tower, Duke Chapel, Old Main and Charlotte's dome
  • Variant's home on a phone: an avatar's face drawn in ASCII, “The official home of investment avatars”
  • A 3D avatar in a suit standing on a phone screen, lit from below
  • “Join the next generation of investors” beside a gold V phone
  • A Stock Dojo lesson in light mode, a quick check answered right: one share of a hundred is 1% ownership of the company
  • Opening the Founder's Case: the lid thrown back and the item cards fanning out of the glowing case
  • The Stock Dojo's portfolio: $192,041, the week's line against the S&P 500, cash and positions
  • The ROC Wine Directory's title over a vineyard at dusk, on a phone
  • The ROC wine map as a guide: the winery list and filters beside the map, Château Galoupet's card open over Provence
  • Winery cards with their estates: Camaleón Natural under the Andes, Chaix, Château Galoupet, Château Telmont
  • Desideria's home page: “Life & Liberty”, the double sleeve, over the Dispersion Tee worn
  • The gallery: the drop worn against graffiti, on a city stoop and on a studio wall
  • The Drop 002: the Dispersion Tee and the Life & Liberty double sleeve, worn, with sizes and prices
  • ConCensus's welcome: its three-figure mark in blue, purple and red, news, polls and local events
  • The ConCensus home, “Hey, Liam”: points and rank, the midterm results map, the policy tracker and the news tabs
  • A ConCensus poll answered, “Should Congress keep passing short-term budgets?”: 41% with you, its left-middle-right strip, and who picked it by party, age and state

About

Liam Gergen at the Harvard Kennedy School

Hey there, I'm Liam. This is a collection of projects that I've built, including my own personal explorations, and projects that I've built for other people and companies.

I'm currently a first-year at UNC Chapel Hill studying economics and public policy. I came out of high school with a background in engineering, which has helped me build these projects.

My biggest project is Life At, a campus organizer for schedules, deadlines, maps, friends, and goals. It started at UNC and now supports five campuses plus an iPhone app.

The Stock Dojo is a portfolio simulator with live market data and an interactive lesson curriculum. It's designed as a gateway into learning about the stock market without taking on any of the associated risk. The ROC Wine Directory is a catalog of every Regenerative Organic Certified wine in the world: a searchable directory, a winery map, and a bottle guide. I built it for the Regenerative Organic Alliance.

When I'm not working on these projects, I like to play ping-pong, pickleball, go to the gym, and play soccer. I love traveling, trying new foods and experiences, and learning more about business and the world around us. Feel free to reach out with any of the links below!
