Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJiří Kadlec is a backend software developer and cloud operations engineer with 13 years of experience building geospatial data platforms for Earth observation, hydrology and precision agriculture. He combines deep domain expertise in hydrology, soil erosion and spatial data infrastructures with hands-on skills in Python, R, C#, PostGIS and cloud-native tooling (ECS, Lambda, Docker). At Gisat and Seznam.cz he turned raw LiDAR and satellite sources into production-ready terrain and crop-monitoring services, and helped scale a Europe-wide grassland watch using the openEO API. His work spans full lifecycle engineering—from distributed job scheduling for large image processing tasks to microservices for offline map packaging and user synchronization. Jiří’s research background (PhD work on global snow cover mapping) informs pragmatic, reproducible approaches to open-access web tools and quality-control of large vector datasets. Based in Prague, he is particularly adept at bridging academic research and production systems to deliver reliable, open-source-friendly geospatial services.
