What I work on
I work on geospatial AI and build open-source tools for spatial data.
- 🤖 Agentic AI: production multi-agent systems with LangChain/LangGraph, MCP servers and A2A/AG-UI, evaluated with Langfuse
- 🛰️ 3D reconstruction: drone imagery → COLMAP → Triangle Splatting+ on an NVIDIA GB10 → Cesium 3D Tiles
- 🌐 DGGS: Discrete Global Grid Systems in the browser, in DuckDB and in Python, and as a representation for spatial learning
- 📄 Research: 600+ citations, including LLMs and spatial concepts (COSIT 2024), DGGS as a Digital Earth, and decentralized geoprivacy
