weiji14 - Overview (original) (raw)
Kia Ora π
I am a _Geospatial Data Scientist_from π²πΎ working remotely and pondering about where to go next! My background is in Geography, with a particular interest in Earth Observation using satellites π°οΈ, having done cool research on Antarctic ice dynamics during my PhD in Aotearoa/New Zealand π₯. Nowadays, I'm striving to boostthe next generation of scientists towards better open science practices, craftingcomposable pipelines and designing for accelerated hardware systemsthat will take us to the next frontier π
These are some of the hats I wear:
- βοΈ Machine Learning Engineer in the GeoAI team at Development Seed
- π Core Developer of PyGMT: A Pythonic Interface to the Generic Mapping Tools
- βοΈ Maintainer of recipes on conda-forge and other packaging efforts
I'm currently:
- βοΈ Developing a Rust/PyO3 library called cog3pio, with an outlook on GPU-accelerated access to Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs.
- π± Making open source contributions to Pangeo, GeoRust and other adjacent ecosystems!
Want to connect?
- π» I'm open to building partnerships with folks working on open geospatial tools, specifically with a Remote Sensing focus, so reach out!
