Atma Mani is a Staff Software Engineer with 11+ years building cloud-native geospatial and data engineering platforms, currently focused on resilient spatial data pipelines for weather-driven energy forecasting. He has led architecture and optimization efforts at Amperon and One Concern, routinely cutting storage and compute costs by an order of magnitude while scaling workflows to billions of spatial records. At Esri he helped create and productize the ArcGIS Python API, marrying deep API design and Python data ecosystem expertise with product management and developer evangelism. His work spans ETL, MLOps, and serving layers—shipping model training pipelines (including TensorFlow Lite exports), scalable mapping APIs, and novel spatial indexing schemes that enable massive parallelism. Based in Los Angeles, he blends hands-on engineering with cross-functional leadership and a research background in thermal and remote sensing that informs pragmatic solutions for complex spatial problems.
