CHRISTOPHER
MORAVEC
Software Developer | Perpetual Tinkerer | Builder of Interesting Things
As a speaker, I give presentations about AI, mapping technology, and other complex problem-solving – but what I’m really talking about is how to use technology to do good in the world.
I’m a software developer focused on GIS (maps), data, and AI.
I am the CTO and founder of a software consulting company that builds custom apps and solutions.
I speak at conferences about technical things, like AI, User Interface Design, Startups, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership.
I have been working in Software Development since 2008 and have loved every minute of it. I have a passion for tackling complex challenges that push the boundaries of technology. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on helping organizations and individuals unlock the full potential of their data to glean meaningful insights. My favorite projects have been ones that started with an open-ended question – questions that begin with “How could we…” or “What if we did…” or “Can I see the data in way that would show..?” The end result of this kind of project is to build a solution that not only answers the initial question but also open up new possibilities for growth and innovation. The right technology can help someone succeed in a way that they didn’t imagine was possible!
As the CTO and founder of dymaptic, I lead a team of skilled professionals in creating innovative GIS and AI solutions. We work with clients to build custom solutions for complex challenges. I work mostly in Python, JavaScript and C# (yup, I’m a CTO and I can and do write code), building everything from backend server components to client-facing configurable web and mobile applications. I enjoy working on all parts of the development life cycle and always strive to build applications that are designed to work for the long haul.
I have learned that, no matter how much planning and testing you do, the best software development includes an element of “fake it ‘til you make it!” You can’t be sure how something will work until you start putting it together and testing it – so there is always a lot of going back and fixing things. (When developers talking about working in an “agile” environment, that’s what they mean – building something, breaking it, and fixing it.)
I want to know how everything works: I was the kid that took apart a mechanical clock to see how it ticked (Getting it put back together was WAY harder than taking it apart)! I tinker with software, gadgets and tools to try to build things that interact with humans in both the virtual (but not that meta-verse stuff) and physical worlds. I am also a pilot!
Are you afraid that a presentation from a software developer will be inherently dry and boring (and maybe monotonous)? Let me assuage you of that idea! I speak at conferences about technical things, like AI and User Interface Design, as well as less technical things, like Startups, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership. I have won Hackathons and spoken to audiences of all sizes about tools and processes that we use to help our clients. I enjoy the challenge of translating technical experience into stories that even the least tech savvy folks can appreciate – and on the opposite end, I love giving presentations that include live coding demos. I can design a custom presentation or keynote to meet your audience’s needs!
