Summary
John Preston is a Senior Engineer with over four decades of technical experience specializing in low-noise nuclear radiation counting systems and neutron activation analysis. Based in Saint Andrew, Jamaica, he develops irradiation and counting workflows and architects archival frameworks for efficient storage, retrieval and planetary-scale processing of spatially referenced data. His work bridges hands-on electronics design and large-scale data visualization, enabling precise measurement while making massive spatial datasets tractable for analysis. A long-tenured contributor to the University of the West Indies, he pairs academic rigor from a BSc at Mona with practical electronics and systems engineering dating to the late 1970s. Notably, he combines deep analogue instrumentation expertise with modern spatial data strategies—an uncommon cross-disciplinary skill set that improves both measurement fidelity and downstream data usability.
