Who I Am

I'm Maxwell Howe — a GIS professional and builder with an MS in Geo-Information Science from Salem State University. I combine spatial analysis, R and Python scripting, and web development to build tools that make geographic data useful and accessible.

I teach math and statistics at the high school level, and that shapes how I approach GIS work: most of the job is translating complex spatial stories into something a non-technical audience can actually act on. I know how to bridge that gap. It's why I build tools people can use — and why cartographic communication matters to me as much as technically correct output.

Post-graduation, I've continued building independently: TappyMaps (a web-based GIS application), howe2math (a full-stack SaaS platform for math teachers built on FastAPI and PostgreSQL), and ongoing spatial analysis covering African urbanization and Boston-area housing patterns near MBTA commuter rail corridors.

I'm targeting GIS, data science, and adjacent technical roles — hybrid or remote in MA/NH/RI. Open to GIS analyst, spatial data scientist, and GIS developer positions.
