Summary
Shane Mill is a Senior Web Developer with seven years of experience building geospatial and meteorological web services for NOAA/NWS, specializing in prototyping and implementing OGC APIs such as the Environmental Data Retrieval (EDR) API. He leads efforts to make large-scale environmental data discoverable and cloud-ready, converting legacy formats to cloud-optimized stores (e.g., Zarr) and designing horizontally scalable backends and interactive front-end clients. Shane married operational meteorology experience with software engineering—having been an operational forecaster—and uses that domain knowledge to shape practical data APIs and ingestion pipelines. He has been a lead contributor to the NWS National GIS Map Viewer and an active participant in OGC standards and MetOcean domain working groups. Known for pragmatic automation, he has built automated metadata ingestion, search engines, and asynchronous query systems leveraging Dask and open-source tooling. Based in Virginia, he combines hands-on full-stack development with standards-driven interoperability to bring operational weather data into modern cloud ecosystems.
