Jim Stearns is a Principal Consultant and software engineer with 11+ years of focused experience delivering data-driven applications, visualization tools, and embedded systems from startup prototypes to government GIS projects. He blends hands-on Python, PyQt, JavaScript and SQL development with a disciplined emphasis on unit testing, frequent releases, and continuous customer interaction. Jim has led and built cross-functional teams, shepherding products through agile iterations—ranging from an athletic-impact cloud-enabled system to medical-device software for radiotherapy guidance. His analytics background includes competitive Kaggle participation and applied statistical modeling (logistic regression, decision trees) for real-world signal and image problems. Based on long tenure across HP, medical device firms, and NOAA, he’s adept at porting complex desktop/embedded systems across platforms and turning messy sensor or film data into actionable dashboards. Located on Bainbridge Island, he pairs practical engineering rigor with a knack for rapid prototype delivery and measurable product iterations.
