Summary
Slesa Adhikari is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently serving as Computer Scientist VI at NASA-IMPACT where he builds and deploys web-first earth science tools and geospatial visualizations. He blends deep technical skills in C++, Python, JavaScript, C#, and Java with hands-on cloud and DevOps expertise—CDK, Terraform, GitHub Workflows, Docker and AWS—to deliver scalable, production-grade systems. His background spans research and engineering, from optimizing 3D web rendering and Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF workflows to designing Neo4j-backed APIs and interactive labeling tools. While completing an MS in Computer Science focused on temporal ordering in videos using deep learning, he has repeatedly bridged research and product: accelerating large dataset processing with xarray/zarr and shipping polished frontends for domain scientists. Colleagues rely on him for frontend architecture, mentorship, and pragmatic decisions that turn complex Earth-observation data into usable, performant applications.
