Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Johannesen is a Geographic Information Systems consultant and seasoned full-stack practitioner with 30+ years solving complex problems across Europe, Australia, the US and India. He blends deep technical chops in TypeScript, Cesium, GDAL and spatial databases (Postgres, SQLite, SurrealDB) with a strong UX/CX obsession, making difficult geospatial systems simple and usable. As a long-time open-source contributor and founder of projects like xSiteable, he pairs hands-on development with leadership roles including UX Manager and enterprise intranet architect. His background spans low-level C/C++ systems work (award-winning video detection) through semantic Topic Maps and modern geospatial visualization, giving him an unusual breadth from hardware-adjacent systems to cloud-front UIs. A habitual tinkerer, speaker and educator, he’s equally likely to debate philosophy or demonstrate perfect steak-cooking techniques while sketching better interaction models. Based in New South Wales, he brings a pragmatic, imaginative approach that treats constraints as design opportunities.
