Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiles Carlsten is a Senior Geospatial Software Engineer with 11 years of experience combining mathematical rigor, machine learning, and large-scale data analysis to solve mapping, routing, and optimization problems. He has progressed from research and teaching roles at Princeton to hands-on engineering and leadership at Trimble Maps and now Vannevar Labs, where he continues to design algorithms and lead small teams. His work blends deep domain expertise in geospatial data with practical production engineering—shipping systems that turn spatial science into reliable products. Comfortable both planning projects and diving into code, he pairs analytic modeling with pragmatic software design. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he brings an experimental mindset rooted in applied physics and CS, and a knack for explaining complex ideas clearly to technical and nontechnical audiences. An enduring through-line in his career is curiosity: he repeatedly moves between research, production, and leadership to close the gap between novel algorithms and operational systems.
