Previously a physical oceanographer for over a decade, he built data processing systems for large geospatial datasets. He now designs and builds scalable cloud platforms that help organizations process and access Earth observation data.
Sessions
This interactive session will introduce you to eoAPI, a powerful cloud-native framework that simplifies access to Earth Observation data. By the end of this workshop, you'll understand how to use eoAPI to catalog, discover, visualize, and analyze geospatial data efficiently.
Workshop Objectives:
- Explore how eoAPI can fit into your geospatial workflows
- Learn about STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog) and its role in Earth observation
- Explore the key components of eoAPI and how they work together
- Gain hands-on experience working with metadata, raster, and vector services

The European Space Agency (ESA) is developing a new unified Zarr-based storage and protocol format for Sentinel (1, 2, and 3) mission products under the Earth Observation Processing Framework (EOPF) initiative. EOPF Zarr enables scalable, cloud-native access to Earth Observation data and represents a significant shift in how EO products are distributed by ESA.
This talk introduces EOPF Zarr: its design, current status, and practical capabilities. We'll also cover the growing ecosystem of open-source tools being built around it such as plugins for other services (e.g. GDAL, Xarray, QGIS. OpenLayers, ...) to interactive browser-based exploration of Sentinel imagery with no downloads or preprocessing required.
Whether you're new to cloud-based EO workflows or want to learn about Zarr, this session will give you a clear picture of where EOPF stands today and how to get started with it.
