Summary
Alexander Yule is a client-facing senior software engineer and co-founder with a track record of architecting data- and map-driven solutions across startups, government, and enterprise for over a decade. He built and scaled Textizen—an SMS civic engagement platform later acquired into GovDelivery/Granicus—and has led technical modernization efforts at the White House United States Digital Service, including geocoding budget data for environmental justice and a component of the first free public US tax filing system. Comfortable spanning backend systems, frontend design, GIS, and business ops, he has driven product, sales enablement, and technical strategy at Mapbox and beyond. Now a geospatial architect and senior engineer at Emerson Collective, he combines deep spatial tooling expertise (MapLibre/Mapbox, PostGIS, ProtoMaps) with a habit of shipping unconventional civic and research maps—from heavy metal atlases to access-to-care visualizations. Known for translating messy government and legacy-system problems into pragmatic architectures, he brings entrepreneurial grit and interdisciplinary curiosity to mission-driven tech.
