Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Goad is a designer-coder with over a decade of experience building tools at the intersection of visualization, image annotation, and programming languages. He founded and continues to develop ProtoPedia, an open catalog of adjustable visual elements that encodes JavaScript prototype semantics into reusable diagram primitives, and also leads ImageDiver, a high-resolution image annotation web app. His background spans research and product roles—from a PhD-era research associate at Stanford to founding and scaling mapping and simulation companies—bringing a rare blend of deep academic training and hands-on product engineering. Based in Santa Fe, he combines long-term systems thinking with a designer’s attention to visual expressiveness, enabling technical interfaces that are both programmable and human-friendly.
