Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDana Bauer is a product-focused builder with 15 years of experience who blends strategy, data analysis, and hands-on coding to turn product vision into working systems. Based in Philadelphia, she brings practical expertise in working with geospatial satellite data—contributing Jupyter notebooks to Planet's popular repositories that demonstrate search, activation, NDVI visualization, and automated asset downloads. Equally comfortable defining roadmaps and shipping code, she leverages her MA from Temple and a BS from Schreyer Honors College to bridge research-quality rigor with product velocity. Dana’s background as a data scientist and product manager enables her to wrangle messy datasets into actionable insights and reproducible pipelines. She favors pragmatic documentation and examples that help other engineers adopt APIs quickly, reflecting a bias toward developer experience. Colleagues describe her as a strategic operator who still enjoys the craft of coding when it matters most.
