Proof — Earth UQ × geospatial × shipping agents
- PhD Environmental Engineering, TAMUK 2022: multi-basin hydroclimate forecast uncertainty quantification & reduction on HPC (MODFLOW, VIC, PIHM, NASA LIS; USGS/NOAA/NASA).
- Geospatial fluency: ArcGIS/QGIS 8 years; Field GIS ArcPad 10 (2017); GIS river-system research — env science + Earth data adjacent to EO partner work.
- Ships production agentic LLM + retrieval + multi-tenant agents (Vertexium); Fortune 500 compliance writing (EDAT GRI/SASB/TCFD) — partner communications + ownership.
- Honest frame: geospatial EO / Earth Engine depth may be adjacent not primary; no invented GEE/rslearn/ViT-EO pubs. Brand: the PhD who ships. Seattle OK · Prefer take-home.
