Sean Gorman is a serial founder and technical executive with over a decade of experience building geospatial, mapping, and machine learning products for startups and enterprise leaders like Snap and Maxar. He currently leads Zephr, developing collaborative device-level GPS/GNSS corrections and an LLM-powered, low-latency conversational navigation agent for phones and wearables. Previously he founded Pixel8earth and Timbr.io and led teams that delivered Snap’s in-house map stack and DigitalGlobe’s GBDX ML tooling, blending academic rigor (PhD in Complexity Science) with product-driven engineering. His work uniquely combines geospatial computer vision, distributed sensing, and streaming analytics to push centimeter-to-meter positioning accuracy in consumer contexts. An unexpected through-line: his research-informed projects have repeatedly moved from academic publication and government briefings to commercial acquisitions and shipped products.
