Building back end services to add value to OpenData and spatial apps for landscape monitoring. We predominately use open source frameworks including Docker, Python, JavaScript, Postgres, Node.js, GeoServer, Flask, JQuery mobile, Open Layers and Leaflet but as Google Earth Engine Trusted Testers we also work with the analysis and delivery opportunities provided by global earth observation data linked to massive compute and on demand processing frameworks.
