I build automated geospatial intelligence systems from satellite and sensor data to decision-ready outputs.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
I build end-to-end geospatial intelligence systems that turn satellite, LiDAR, and sensor data into automated pipelines, spatial databases, and decision-ready outputs. My work spans environmental monitoring, terrain simulation, computer vision, and live spatial web platforms.
I've built a deterministic rainfall-runoff engine for US DEMs, validated across Houston coastal sub-basins and the Arkansas Ozarks, and an offline LiDAR structural-triage tool tested on post-earthquake datasets from Haiti and Kumamoto. I root-caused a nondeterministic terrain-conditioning issue in WhiteboxTools and replaced it with a reproducible pysheds workflow.
I also created live intelligence platforms for Mekong Delta agriculture and Amazon deforestation, using Google Earth Engine, PostGIS, Supabase, AWS S3, and Leaflet.js to deliver spatial analysis through interactive interfaces.
My Industrial Engineering background informs how I approach systems, automation, operations, and data quality. I’m open to remote and international work in environmental monitoring, satellite intelligence, precision agriculture, humanitarian technology, and spatial data engineering.
