Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristian Howard is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience specializing in front-end engineering and geospatial mapping, currently building payment infrastructure at Wisetack after leading maps platform work at Compass. He has designed and maintained internal map APIs used across dozens of teams and re-architected public-facing consumer search, pairing TypeScript, React, Node, and GIS tooling to deliver production features. His work spans full-stack implementations—from a Node proxy for climate risk raster tiles to a hackathon-born "Snap to Streets" SVG routing tool that reached hundreds of users in its first month. Prior roles at Blue Raster produced mapping solutions for NGOs and enterprise clients using the ArcGIS JS API, reflecting strong domain expertise in spatial systems. Based in Washington, D.C., he pairs technical rigor (MS in Information Systems Technology, 3.97 GPA) with disciplined endurance training as an avid triathlete, a combination that informs his focus on resilient, maintainable systems.
