Matthew Hanson joined the Development Seed team! Matthew will expand our growing satellite imagery and remote sensing portfolio. Matthew is the author of GIPS and a major contributor to GeoNode. He is going to help us build open tools to make geodata more accessible and help to solve complex global problems with geographic information. Matthew brings a wealth of experience at the nexus of geospatial and hard engineering. He’s worked with data ranging from optical imagery, radar, LIDAR, to climate models, often building the data infrastructure from the ground up. We’re excited to have him on the team.

Matt is the one on the left.

You can find Matthew on Twitter or GitHub. Say hello or give him a high five at the next open geo conference.
