I'm a data scientist/software developer/academic researcher working on projects in remote sensing, machine learning and ocean sciences. I develop open-source remote sensing tools, apply machine learning to solve to complex problems and create web applications to visualise spatio-temporal data (Django, Leaflet, PostgreSQL/PostGIS). I have developed the popular CoastSat toolkit, which uses Google Earth Engine to automatically track coastal changes over the last 40 years on satellite images. I also have broad experience with regression and classification machine learning problems (Neural Nets, LSTMs, SVMs on PyTorch) and have recently focused on solving decision-making problems with reinforcement learning (Q-learning and DQN). Publicly available projects: CoastSat , coastal webportal , RL optimisation
