One pattern: take operational work that depends on heroes and turn it into a platform. Jacobs is the current chapter. NASA is the public proof — flood products under disaster timelines, LAADS Find Data for the MODIS/VIIRS archive, and the Goddard chapters below the grid. Finium is where it started: a multi-tenant security platform that scaled 10× and enabled a $105M acquisition.
Mission-critical geospatial platform generating near-real-time flood inundation maps during active global disaster events. Architected the fully automated pipeline — from raw satellite sensor ingestion through geospatial product generation, dissemination, and integration with international emergency-management networks — engineered for fault tolerance and reliability when latency is measured in hours, not sprints.

NASA’s Level-1 and Atmosphere archive: modernized Find Data search and order, the public LAADS portal, and LANCE near-real-time access for MODIS and VIIRS holdings. GitLab CI/CD, Kubernetes, and Perl services that had to keep distributing while the web systems changed.
