I build cloud-native geospatial software at Sparkgeo, using geospatial data and earth observation to solve real-world problems. I lead a small distributed team while also writing code. Fifteen years into my career, I care about the engineering culture around the work as much as the code itself: honest reviews everyone learns from, documentation someone will actually read, and helping the people I lead get better. For the past few years I’ve been working out where AI adds risk and where it genuinely speeds the development lifecycle up.
