Summary
Christina Long is a senior software engineer with a decade of experience building data-rich, cloud-native systems for climate, maritime, and enterprise applications. She has shipped backend infrastructure, ETL pipelines, and APIs at startups and scale-ups using Python, TypeScript, SQL, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), and currently contributes to grid-focused software at WeaveGrid. Christina combines an academic background in archaeology with practical engineering—she's applied spatial data and GIS skills to weather and ocean modeling pipelines and once digitized excavation catalogs—bringing a systems-thinking approach to environmental data problems. At Actual and Sofar Ocean she helped turn complex geospatial and sensor data into production services that inform operational and sustainability decisions. She’s comfortable across the stack from data modeling and pipeline performance tuning to scalable microservices and developer tooling, and is pursuing climate-focused training to align her technical work with planetary impact.
