Top SchoolDylan Babbs is a founder and engineering leader with 10 years building maps, data visualization, and front-end systems, now serving as Co-Founder and CTO of Profound in New York. He scaled mapping and geospatial features as a Senior Design Engineer at Uber and earlier shaped developer tools and visualization at HERE Technologies. Dylan blends product instincts with hands-on React development—contributing to popular open-source work like Base Web by implementing map marker features, TypeScript types, and documentation. A University of Washington Informatics graduate and South Park Commons fellow, he combines startup grit with enterprise experience. He’s equally comfortable sketching product flows, shipping polished UIs, and diving into the geometry of spatial data to make search and maps more useful.
