Summary
Drew Seminara is a Senior Full Stack Engineer based in Portland, Oregon with 11 years building geospatial and data-driven web applications across startup and mission-driven organizations. He specializes in end-to-end spatial systems—frontend React/Mapbox/OpenLayers work paired with backend services in Go, Python, and PostGIS—to turn satellite, drone, and IoT inputs into scalable visualization and analytics platforms. Drew has led architecture and CI/CD improvements, built high-throughput imagery pipelines handling tens of TB and hundreds of millions of rows, and shipped multi-tenant geospatial SaaS for insurance and government clients. Comfortable across AWS/GCP and modern deployment tooling, he combines hands-on coding with a background in atmospheric and environmental science, which informs pragmatic solutions for real-world spatial problems. An understated strength is his track record of translating complex scientific datasets into user-friendly tools that materially improve decision-making workflows.
