Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Christensen is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience blending scientific programming, data analysis, and web development to turn messy environmental datasets into actionable tools. He has led front-end projects using React and React Native for GIS-heavy applications (including oil spill response and coastal risk tools) and built dashboard and visualization backends with Django, Highcharts, MongoDB and SQLite. Grounded by an MSc in Physical Oceanography and hands-on oceanographic field work, he uniquely combines domain science, statistical rigor in Matlab/Python, and production engineering. Now at GE, he focuses on shipping scalable, user-centered web applications that synthesize complex data into clear visual narratives. An often-overlooked strength is his background in maritime operations and routing, which gives him practical intuition for real-world decision support systems.
