Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarson Holgate is a seasoned software engineer in San Francisco with 15 years of experience building cross-platform UI and infrastructure, currently focusing on Android, WebView, and glue at Snap Inc. He previously led Android and web efforts at Google—spanning internal communications, Chrome for Mobile rendering, and early machine learning—bringing deep C, Java, and Python expertise. Carson blends low-level systems work (Skia/compositing, C/C++) with higher-level stacks like Django and TensorFlow, and is comfortable across Linux and full-stack web technologies. A mathematician by training, he pairs rigorous analytical thinking with practical product delivery, from disaster-relief mapping on Android to shipping Play Store apps as a freelancer. Off the keyboard he’s lately been “machine knitting,” hinting at a hands-on maker streak that complements his engineering curiosity.
