Summary
Michele Tucci is a GIS Analyst/Developer with 10+ years of experience applying advanced geospatial and remote sensing techniques to humanitarian response, urban settlement mapping, and environmental monitoring. Currently at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, he develops automated map-production workflows and extracts features from high-resolution imagery for the Global Human Settlement Layer and crisis mapping for the ERCC. Technically fluent in Python (data, geospatial and ML stacks), JavaScript (geo APIs, Google Earth Engine), PostgreSQL/PostGIS and a broad suite of GIS/RS tools, he blends research-grade methods with production automation. His background spans academic GIScience research and teaching, cartographic quality control for marine charts, and practical hydrogeological mapping—evidence of a rare mix of theoretical depth and field-oriented problem solving. An “indoor enthusiast” and monolithic-software advocate, he brings pragmatic engineering preferences to complex spatial challenges.
