Backend engineer with 18 years of experience building things that work.

Lead Engineer @ Koordinates - wrangling geospatial data at scale.

I solve weird problems in the geospatial and Python ecosystems. The kind where you're reading C library source code at 2am wondering why your coordinate transformation is off by 3 meters.

I'm good at code review, which seems important in the AI era.

Expert-level understanding of:

• spatial data intricacies - [Geo]Parquet, Geopackage, Postgis, COGTiff, pointclouds, projections, the antimeridian, ...
• Python
• Docker Compose

I'm also very experienced with AI coding tools (claude code particularly), as well as building for LLMs (MCP servers, tweaks, writing skills/prompts)

I'm open to part-time contracting.

I'm especially interested in working with you if you:

• have an interesting problem in geospatial, data pipelines, or Python backend systems.
• need help increasing AI adoption in your team
• need to improve your developer tooling

I don't want to work on fintech or heavily-frontend-only work (I'm happy with full-stack though)
