Automated the process chain to transform remote sensing data in vector formats for agriculture machinery, thus saving many hours of manual processing. Completed on behalf of the Polish startup, Satagro. Explored the possibilities of adding holes in the Leaflet polygon edition tool. Developed a web application for the Swiss Association for the Promotion of Swiss Bench Culture (Bankgeheimnisse.ch/map). It documented benches in Switzerland which has now around 12,000 benches and 600 users. Implemented, for the above project, the services as a REST API. deployed the application in AWS, and implemented monitoring with Grafana. Developed a real-time map of public transport speed in Pays de Gex/Geneva showing the current status, past data, and prediction of the next 24 hours. It's no longer online. Created a data-gathering service consuming the Geneva public transport company APIs 24/7. Extracted public transport service routes and stops from OpenStreetMap. Performed a data analysis and modeling of the public transport data with R. Implemented a web page showing the status of the line and 24 hours worth of predictions.

Developed a web application to publish different countries' national forest data. Built process chains to prepare the forest data (raster and vector), resulting in a semi-automatic publication of the data. Deployed the application in Argentina, Paraguay, and Ecuador in collaboration with local technicians. Developed PL/pgSQL scripts in order to compute the total surfaces of the different forest classification classes.

Developed an Android client for Ikimap (a map repository where users can vote and comment maps). Contributed to the gvSIG Android version to allow new user interactions with the map control and to improve drawing speed of big vector layers, making it possible to base the development of the Ikimap's Android client on it. Built a web tool to plan geotechnical surveys (http://five.es/geoweb/). Constructed a GIS data repository to be used as a source for reproducible experiments for the Mediterranean Center for Marine and Environmental Research (CMIMA). Migrated different types of data sources to NetCDF format and loaded as NetCDF in the CMIMA repository. Wrote an algorithm to calculate the radiation and visibility in 3D urban environments. Developed a geoprocessing specific language allowing users to create complex chains to processing spatial information, regardless of the data storage (database, file, web service) or format (shapefile, GML, PostGIS, TIFF, JPEG, and so on). Built gvSIG extensions to analyze radar data, support land surveying processes, cadastral management, and so on. Developed a tool to implement image quality control for the National Plan for Aerial Orthophotography in Extremadura, Spain.
