Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJacob Chapman is a systems and data engineer with 11 years’ experience building scalable spatial and data pipelines, automations, and cloud migrations for organizations from startups to non-profits. He combines deep Python and GIS tooling (QGIS, GDAL, RasterIO, PostGIS) with practical DevOps—Docker, Pulumi, GitHub Actions and BigQuery—to process petabytes of remote sensing data and turn ML outputs into production-ready raster and vector products. At Atlas AI he automated topology-preserving boundary generation and QA pipelines, and at BERA led an Azure→GCP migration using dbt and CI/CD to modernize analytics. Equally comfortable optimizing tiny Raspberry Pi images for offline education projects or improving core banking ETL, he’s known for pragmatic tooling (nspawn-loop, mkmetalink) that reduces operational toil. Based in Greater Milwaukee, he pairs anthropology-trained curiosity with hands-on engineering and has a history of cost-saving vendor renegotiations and volunteer-management automation.
