• Classifying trees and vegetation using satellite imagery and lidar derivatives. • Boreal and oil sands predictive wetland mapping.• Grasslands and Parkland predictive wetland mapping.• Automated seismic line identification using deep learning.• Large scale lidar processing and analysis.• Assessing vegetation recovery of human generated features(seismic lines, well pads, etc.)

summary of some projects:• Classifying tree type using 3d photogrammetry derived point clouds.(Keras/Tensorflow, pointnet, laspy, etc.) • large scale wetland mapping using segmentation neural network(Python, Keras/TensorFlow, GDAL, Google Earth Engine, etc.) Publication: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/12/1/2 .• bird species identification from audio recordings (neural networks, Keras/Tensorflow, audio processing, etc.).• camera trap image analysis to determine presence/absence of animals using a deep neural network deployed in the cloud in 2015 (Caffe2, OpenCV, Python). Updated in 2016 to auto-identify domestic cows. Still running today.• large scale predictive soil/ecosite mapping (pixel based, random forest, Scikit-learn, SAGA, etc.). Report: https://www.abmi.ca/home/publications/451-500/498.html%3Btime=2016 .• web sites with web mapping (PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, OpenLayers, MapServer).• wrapping Netlogo models into a server-side application with real-time GIS post processing, web front end (PHP, JavaScript, Java, Python, GDAL).• linear feature detection from Lidar using predictive modeling and computer vision (SciPy, Pylearn2/Theano, Scikit-learn).

• Canadian lynx activity modeling using accelerometer data (time series, Scikit-learn, tsfresh, Keras/TensorFlow, Pandas). This work contributed towards publication: https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13605• Geo-spatial predictive soil moisture/nutrient modeling (Scikit-learn, Random Forest, SAGA GIS).

During this time I was contracted to build some application features including:• Custom reporting tools.• Graphical reporting tools.• Enhancing core data collection.Php, mysql, Javascript, Html, jquery, gd-lib, requirements gathering, high pressure

I was responsible for the rollout of our application to client medical schools, shepherding them from a paper based approach to our online system. I was also still involved with some development.

Start-up madness!I co-founded a company that provided web based medical education administration software. My unofficial roles included lead developer, database administrator, server administrator, director of development, customer support, sales, security and deployment, etc.. In 2008 one45 was acquired by Cytiva Software Inc..

• Developed dynamic route finding software to deliver set of directions to nearest bus stop(s).• Developed CGI web mapping software with zoom/pan/labeling from scratch using C++.• Developed TTY modem to chat client using sockets, enabling hearing impaired to communicate with transit information agents.• Created a live working prototype of a mobile phone “web application” using PHP3 and HDML to give real-time stop-level bus arrival times and schedules. First of its kind.• Created various web based schedule delivery systems and monitoring programs.C++, PHP, Java, sockets, XML, codebase, MySQL, ODBC, GIS, route finding
