Top SchoolEvan Babb is a pragmatic software engineer with 13 years of experience building interactive web and automation systems from Oakland, California.

His background spans urban planning GIS and data-driven scenario tools to platform roles in biotech (Cytovale) and aerospace software (Astra), giving him a strong mix of domain empathy and engineering rigor. Comfortable across Python, JavaScript, spatial data stacks and DevOps, he often surfaces practical infrastructure improvements that accelerate teams.
