Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoss Topol is a founder and principal engineer with a decade of experience building full-stack web applications, specializing in GIS and interactive mapping solutions. He moved from disaster response logistics into software engineering and leadership, bringing practical operational rigor to technical architecture and team mentoring. Proficient across the stack—React, Node/Express, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Redux, and mapping libraries like Leaflet and Mapbox—he designs data-driven visualizations and cloud-native deployments on GCP and AWS. As a former software engineering manager at AppGeo/Sanborn, he balanced hands-on coding with hiring, standards-setting, and proposal-level technical input for public and private sector clients. He runs an Austin-based consultancy that delivers end-to-end spatial apps, dashboards, and performance-focused systems, and volunteers building tools for community radio automation. His background in coordinating large volunteer response efforts gives him a knack for turning complex spatial workflows into usable, maintainable products under real-world constraints.
