AL HR68

Recognizes and commends David Marconnet, a Harvest, Alabama resident, for creating Bama Tracker, a platform that tracks COVID-19 statistics.

Bama Tracker repackages data from the Alabama Department of Public Health in an easy-to-navigate format and has gained over 10,000 Twitter followers including citizens, elected officials, and school systems.

The platform offers a subscription service for daily COVID-19 statistics emails and launched a third iteration in January 2021 with expanded COVID-19 vaccine data.

Marconnet has been interviewed 16 times by media outlets, was named among AL.com's Alabamians Who Made a Difference in 2020, and has been contacted by people from other states seeking assistance creating similar tracking websites.

Marconnet serves as Chief Technology Officer of OneTeam.net and plans to expand Bama Tracker to cover additional topics including weather trends, politics, and college football once the COVID-19 pandemic ends.
