Summary
Christian Sarason is a Senior Research Engineer with 11 years of experience turning academic prototypes into fielded products for marine technology, renewable energy, and environmental sensing. Based in Seattle, he blends scientific rigor from an M.Sc. in Oceanography and an A.B. in Geology with hands-on software skills in Python, MATLAB, SQL, and containerized reproducible workflows (Jupyter, Anaconda, Docker). He has led cross-functional teams as an agile product owner and scrum master, translating complex sensor and oceanographic data into clear visualizations and operational systems for autonomous vehicles and real-time models. A seasoned communicator and teacher, he routinely demonstrates technical concepts via interactive demos and high-touch customer engagement. Equally comfortable hacking legacy C/C++/Fortran code or building full-stack geospatial tools, he brings a pragmatic focus on dependable delivery and stakeholder-aligned requirements.
