Robb Lankston is a software engineer with 12 years of experience building end-to-end data science and GIS solutions that translate academic research into scalable cloud software for environmental science. He blends machine learning productionization, high-performance GIS modeling, and cloud architecture (AWS/GCP) to turn massive spatial datasets into actionable climate and land-management insights. His background includes long-standing collaborations with USFS and academic institutions, authoring bespoke simulation libraries and ArcMap add-ins and shipping tools used by federal research groups. Comfortable across Python, C#, and TypeScript, he’s equally at home writing fast raster-processing algorithms from scratch or designing infrastructure for compute-heavy scientific models. Based in Seattle, he combines a practical systems mindset with domain depth in forestry and fire modeling, driven by the belief that better data tools enable better climate policy.
