Top SchoolTucker Buchy is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building large-scale data and geospatial pipelines, currently leading a team at Bayer to digitize agriculture for the Climate FieldView platform. He combines hands-on expertise in Python, distributed systems (ECS, Kafka, Dask), and data warehousing with a track record of cost and delivery optimizations—having cut pipeline operating costs by 75% and feature delivery time by 80%.
