Emir Hartato is a GIS and remote sensing specialist with 13 years of experience applying geospatial science to environmental, development, and humanitarian challenges across government, NGOs, industry, and communities. Currently a Technical Onboarding Specialist at Planet, he blends deep domain expertise in cartography, geovisualization, crowdsourcing, and disaster management with a customer-centric technical background built through successive roles in customer success and support. He holds a first-class MSc in Geographic Information Science from the University of Canterbury and a BSc in Geography from the University of Indonesia, which underpin his strengths in training, curriculum development, and community building. Emir has a proven track record running field mapping and capacity-building programs—from Jakarta flood response to community mapping in Malawi—turning complex spatial data into actionable planning tools. He is learning Python to expand his technical toolkit and increasingly bridges geospatial science with product-focused technical enablement. Notably, his career combines hands-on field mapping experience with product-side roles at a satellite imagery company, giving him a rare end-to-end perspective on geospatial solutions.
