Mark Mathis is a seasoned strategic advisor and AI solutions architect with 11+ years building production-scale geospatial and cloud-native systems, now based in Los Alamos, NM. He co-founded Descartes Labs and led engineering at Impact Observatory, delivering a first-of-its-kind 10m global LULC map built from 1.2 PB of imagery using massive distributed compute and repeated automated pipelines. Comfortable as both a hands-on individual contributor and a leader, he bridges research, operations, and product by designing distributed data platforms, CI/CD, and agentic GenAI workflows for geospatial retrieval and tool calling. At Los Alamos National Laboratory he has repeatedly translated complex science into deployable SaaS solutions and advised organizations on extracting value from emerging technologies. Known for clear explanations and pragmatic delegation, he’s the go-to problem solver who steps in to finish the job when teams hit impasses.
