OceanX Tech Stack
Ocean research and media nonprofit scaling expeditions and public engagement
OceanX combines deep-sea research with large-scale media production and education programs across a 11–50 person nonprofit. The tech stack—Python, SQL, dbt, Metabase, plus Unreal Engine and Meta Quest—reveals a dual operational model: analytics and financial infrastructure (Cvent, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Metabase) for grant and event management, paired with immersive media tooling for producing documentary content and interactive exhibits. Active hiring across education, research, and operations with 7 interns signals rapid scaling of both scientific missions and community engagement, while pain points around event planning, financial visibility, and grant funding point to growing operational complexity.
