Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Brown is a Technical Lead with 11 years of experience marrying Earth system science and GIS with production-grade software engineering to build scalable geospatial data platforms. He began in paleoclimatology research at McGill and pivoted to applied geomatics and machine learning, developing CNN-based workflows for ecological monitoring before moving into satellite data processing and automation at GHGSat. Nicolas specializes in end-to-end geospatial pipelines—Kubernetes, Argo Workflows, GDAL, Postgres and CI/CD—bringing scientific rigor to data migrations, workflow reliability, and API design. Now leading data platform efforts at Overstory, he combines hands-on coding with team leadership and scrum mastery to operationalize complex remote-sensing workflows. A detail-oriented problem solver, he’s as comfortable tuning ML models as he is designing resilient data infrastructure for large-scale web mapping and analytics.
