Summary
Jack Grossman is a Senior Technologist with nine years of experience building cloud-native, geospatial, and full-stack systems, currently leading technical work at Black Cape. He combines strong JavaScript/Python expertise (React, FastAPI) with hands-on cloud and CI/CD skills—AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Argo CD—and a deep GIS toolkit (GDAL, QGIS, ArcPy) that enables production mapping and geodatabase solutions. Previously a Staff Software Engineer at Vantor, he has bridged delivery and engineering across startups and consultancies, shipping APIs, data pipelines, and interactive visualizations using D3 and Postgres. Jack’s background in international politics and Chinese studies, plus field training in GIS, gives him a rare mix of domain fluency and technical breadth useful for spatially-driven products and global teams. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex geospatial requirements into reliable, automated cloud deployments and scalable developer workflows.
