Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHoward Yeend is a lead engineer with 14 years of experience building web mapping and geospatial front-ends, currently driving delivery and stakeholder engagement on the award-winning National Underground Asset Register at Ordnance Survey. He blends deep JavaScript expertise across React, OpenLayers and Node.js with hands-on leadership—mentoring engineers, managing direct reports, and promoting cross-team collaboration and process improvement. Howard has a track record of shipping user-focused products, from a machine-learning backed pest-mapping frontend and a successful Garden Journal to high-traffic, API-driven platforms at GG.com. Comfortable demoing complex platforms to government, telcos and utilities, he translates technical constraints into practical, high-quality solutions that deliver measurable public and commercial value. An Oxford MSc in Computer Science underpins his engineering judgement, and an early habit of inventing new product ideas (including a patent-pursued concept) shows a longstanding blend of curiosity and impact.
