About

I'm siddhant-gupta, currently exploring satellite imagery and maps as a Member at South Park Commons. My career has taken me from engineering roles at companies like Goodera and Blue Sky Analytics to founding engineering at BridgeUp and working on climate tech at Climate X. I'm passionate about using technology to combat climate change, particularly through geospatial data processing and open-source tools like my Earth-Data-Kit project. I love connecting with fellow builders and tinkers who are solving ambitious problems in messy markets, and I'm always looking to collaborate on meaningful projects that can create real impact. Whether you're working in climate tech, geospatial data, or just curious about these spaces, I'd love to share insights and explore potential synergies.

Opinions

  • Believes in using technology to combat climate change and build a more climate-resilient future
  • Expresses concern about 'AI slop' overwhelming human attention
  • Proponent of open-source software and criticizes corporate dependency on unsupported open-source projects
  • Values starting ambitious projects now: 'the right time to start is always right now!'
  • Encourages diverse candidates to apply for jobs even if they don't meet 100% of criteria, focusing on 'superpowers'
