Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Symington is a Senior Technical Manager and geospatial AI specialist who builds cloud-native platforms for maritime intelligence, turning sensor, imagery, and AIS data into operational insight. With a PhD and 8+ years of engineering experience, he combines hands‑on architecture and backend delivery with strategic leadership of multidisciplinary teams and executive stakeholders. He has architected a ~50‑microservice geospatial platform on GCP, designed AIS systems processing hundreds of billions of rows per day, and cut storage costs by an order of magnitude through hybrid PostgreSQL/parquet+DuckDB designs. His technical breadth spans geospatial ML, computer vision, distributed data platforms, and agentic AI that detects spoofing, dark ships, and anomalous vessel behaviour at scale. Founder of PythonMaps and author of a practical book on geospatial visualization, he pairs scientific rigour and academic publication experience with commercial product delivery. Based in the UK, he is seeking Director-level roles to shape platform strategy and scale high-impact maritime AI systems.
