Summary
Colm Keyes is a Senior Agentic Systems Engineer at TreeMetrics with eight years’ experience building agentic systems and geospatial ML pipelines. He combines a strong academic foundation in physics and geo-information science with hands-on work fine-tuning foundation models for SAR/InSAR and multispectral data to detect large-scale forest disturbances. His background spans end-to-end analytics in finance, unsupervised aerial vegetation segmentation for UAV orthomosaics, and research-grade model development and uncertainty benchmarking using PyTorch and OpenMM. Colm is comfortable bridging stakeholder-driven analytics and cutting-edge research, producing reproducible deliverables from workshops to 45-page technical reports and QGIS visualisations. Based in Leinster, Ireland, he brings a curious, interdisciplinary approach—melding astrophysics-trained rigor with practical EO data engineering—to problems at the intersection of foundation models and remote sensing.
