Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatic Lubej is a software engineer and data scientist with 8 years of experience applying machine learning to Earth Observation, now building data-driven products at Planet Labs. He started in experimental particle physics (PhD) and transitioned that rigor into robust EO tooling and pipelines during a five-year tenure at Sinergise. Matic contributes to prominent open-source EO projects like eo-learn and sentinelhub-py, improving testing, error handling, and example usability to make satellite imagery processing more reliable and accessible. Based in Ljubljana, he blends research-grade analytical skills with practical full-stack development, often focusing on QA and reproducibility—an uncommon emphasis for ML practitioners.
