Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Barnett is a Principal Data Software Engineer based in Greater Boston with eight years of professional experience building data pipelines and web applications, and over a decade of geospatial systems work. At Tufts University he progressed from Senior Geospatial Analyst to leading data software efforts, notably as lead developer of the multi-institutional Open Geoportal project that advanced federated geospatial search and metadata standards. He brings a pragmatic focus on process improvement through analysis and automation, pairing Python scripting and geospatial web stacks with hands-on project leadership and faculty consultation. Earlier work at MIT honed his skills integrating OpenLayers, GeoServer, and Oracle-backed web GIS services, giving him deep operational familiarity with spatial infrastructure. Chris combines a non-traditional academic background in music from MIT with technical curiosity, which fuels an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving and a tendency to learn new domains quickly.
