Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Meyer is an experienced product and engineering leader with 14+ years building and scaling web and geo-focused platforms, now serving on the OpenHistoricalMap advisory board and co-founder of its predecessor project. He blends startup grit with enterprise leadership from roles at New Relic and Teaching Channel, plus technical roots from an EECS degree at MIT and early product management at Microsoft. A former Air Force intelligence officer and DoD SBIR contractor, he brings disciplined program execution and data-driven decision making to civic and campaign work, having supported multiple Democratic campaigns with IT, GIS, and field operations. Passionate about open data and historical mapping, he spends his spare cycles maintaining OpenHistoricalMap and advocating for broad data access—a hint of the “world’s most out of date map” humor that underscores his commitment to playful, practical open-source projects. Based in San Francisco, he’s seeking a contributing role in Democratic-aligned organizations for 2026 where technical leadership meets grassroots impact.
