About

A Google Developer Expert for Google Earth Engine and Senior Product Manager at MAXAR, I lead Developer Relations and champion open data access apart from working on core APIs and infrastructure. I leverage geospatial expertise as an affiliate Faculty at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and I am a Designated Campus Colleague at the University of Arizona. Passionate about community building, I created the ""Awesome Google Earth Engine Community Catalog,"" a thriving data commons to build accessibility to data for global users.

My research explores big data analysis and geospatial applications, while I advocate for science communication and empower researchers through collaborative platforms and engagements. Additionally, I actively work on open-source tools to connect users with data and enhance accessibility.


On the agenda

  1. Public Data Through Commercial Cloud

    May. 17 '24, 11:30am
    Session
    The Central Hub

    Many people who access public earth data access it via a commercial cloud provider. This is particularly likely true among new data users outside the traditional science research community. The accessibility of cloud services promises to accelerate the adoption and impact of Earth imagery, much like open licensing did decades ago. This movement comprises various efforts, some led by government agencies and others by cloud providers. Each has a slightly different view of its target users and has solved access problems differently. Most have adopted a similar set of emerging cloud-native standards. This panel will explore the current landscape of public data on commercial clouds, including different efforts' viewpoints, roadmaps, aspirations, and challenges.
