Wei Ji Leong
Geospatial Data Scientist/Machine Learning Engineer at Development Seed, developing tools for cloud-native geospatial machine learning! Open source developer for Python libraries like PyGMT, maintainer of pangeo-docker-images and conda-forge packages, and working on speeding up GeoTIFF parsing to GPUs via Rust crates like cog3pio.

Zarr is a cloud-native format, and now it can be GPU-native too! We address one of the main bottlenecks of geospatial machine learning, which is on the data loading stage. Let's see how we can read and decompress data from Zarr directly into GPU memory!
Reading a Cloud-optimized GeoTIFF involves several steps, from fetching compressed bytes over a network/disk, decompressing those bytes, to finally parsing of TIFF tag metadata. Can we speed up the decoding using asynchronous methods, or even GPU-accelerated libraries? Let's see how we can program this in Rust!
