San Francisco, California, United States
• Engineered RESTful API in Python, and Django Rest Framework with 50+ endpoints used for finding and accessing satellite imagery data, and tasking satellites to capture new hyperspectral imagery from the GHOSt satellite constellation, supporting ~$1.2M annually in imagery and data sales.
• Led design and development of orbital path calculation API to determine when satellites pass over a specific location using Python, Django Rest Framework, SPG4, and AWS, greatly increasing the accuracy of locations and efficiency of retrieving location data.
• Completed US Government (STRATFI) contract valued at ~$16M, developing RESTful API in Python and Django for tracking satellite positions, imagery opportunities, image collection, and retrieval, presenting live demo to US Space Force stakeholders.
• Led team design meetings on team of 8 and wrote design docs and for REST API endpoints covering Orders, Statuses, Detections, and Satellite Orbital Path, as well as internal CLI covering Data Search
• Developed Tasking and Archive Orders API following NRO/EIDC specifications in Python, Django, PostgreSQL, and AWS, and enabled acquisition of new imagery-as-a-service, as part of CSPO $1.3M government contract.
• Updated File Delivery Pipeline to process >100k raw hyperspectral images from satellites and output georectified .hsi files with ENVI headers, running on AWS (ECS, Step Functions, S3).
• Designed and built Capture API for indexing over 100k images, and searching and retrieving those images, filtering images by location, date, cloud coverage, etc using Python, Django, and AWS.
• Replaced Capture API (Object Model-based) with document model-based API with Python and Django to use standardized STAC catalog format for imagery metadata, allowing easy organization and access of catalog exceeding 2 PB of hyperspectra imagery data.
• Designed and implemented Detection API, tracking methane leaks from monitored pipelines, allowing rapid response and preventing carbon emissions.
