Jeff King has passionately followed his interests in both GIS and development throughout his education and career. He graduated from University of Missouri with a dual bachelor's degree in computer and electrical engineering, while earning a GIS certificate as well. In his career he has seen both developer consulting, as well as product development. Starting his professional career at Esri, he worked on a wide variety of projects across different industries, requiring full-stack development and knowledge of Python, React, and several other languages to deliver projects to customers. This often involved a fair amount of application architecture and design. With an itch to try product development, Jeff jumped to Anaconda and joined a team focused on their cloud product. There, he primarily used Angular and contributed as a frontend engineer on their product. In his time there, he helped to pave the path for unification of their on-prem and cloud application offerings, providing value through reduced redundancy. After gaining a fair bit of expertise, Jeff wanted to apply his passions and love for nature to a mission that could let his skills flourish. Earthshot Labs gave him that mission, where he has joined as a senior frontend engineer.
