Chris Henrick is a senior software development engineer based in Oakland with 13 years of experience specializing in frontend engineering, data visualization, and cartography. Currently at Esri, he blends strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills (React, D3, Web Components, Svelte) with UX design and web accessibility to turn complex geospatial data into clear, usable interfaces. His background includes visualization roles at Google and OmniSci, university web development and teaching, and independent cartography work—reflecting a rare mix of academic, client, and product-driven experience. Chris often bridges design and engineering, bringing an artist’s attention to visual detail from an MFA background to scalable interactive web apps. Notably, he pairs hands-on component and visualization development with accessibility-first thinking, making data-rich maps and UIs useful to diverse audiences.
