Tuan T.
Full-Stack Meteorological & WebGIS Software Engineer | Meteorologist
Weather data is only as valuable as its speed and visualization quality. I bridge operational atmospheric science, cloud data engineering, and cutting-edge WebGL rendering to transform raw raster and vector feeds into real-time, interactive weather platforms. With 5+ years of specialized experience in high-performance computing (HPC) and modern web tech, I build complete, end-to-end weather platforms, from scalable data pipelines to 60 FPS GPU-accelerated frontend applications. 🌐 What I Build & Deliver High-Throughput Data Pipelines (Backend & Cloud): - Automated ingestion & processing pipelines for global/regional NWP models (WRF, GFS, ECMWF, ICON, AROME), satellite imagery, and high-resolution radar networks. - Expert handling of heavy spatiotemporal formats: GRIB2, NetCDF4, HDF5, GeoTIFF, and Zarr, converting them into optimized web-ready tile archives (PMTiles, COG, XYZ). - Cloud infrastructure engineering (AWS EC2/S3, Cloudflare R2/Pages) designed for 24/7 reliability, sub-minute latency, and seamless horizontal scaling. High-Performance WebGL & WebGIS Rendering (Frontend): - Custom WebGL2 / GLSL shader development for real-time vector field visualization (wind, oceanic currents) and smooth precipitation/cloud rendering on modern maps (MapLibre GL, OpenLayers, Deck.gl, CesiumJS). - Feature-rich WebGIS tools: Interactive Skew-T Log-P soundings, dynamic vertical cross-sections, real-time optical flow motion warping (pySTEPS / OpenCV), and point-and-click data inspection. Advanced Meteorological & Marine Solutions: - AI/ML-enhanced forecasting workflows (optical flow, nowcasting, automated severity detection). - Climate risk assessment & extreme event modeling using NEX-GDDP (RCP4.5 / RCP8.5 scenarios) for long-term resiliency. - Specialized aviation & atmospheric tracking tools (Clear Air Turbulence, severe convective monitoring). 🛠️ Technical Core Stack - Meteorological Models & Formats: WRF, GFS, ECMWF, ICON, AROME | NetCDF4, GRIB2, HDF5, GeoTIFF, PMTiles, Zarr - Backend & Pipeline Engineering: Python (xarray, rasterio, NumPy, Shapely, OpenCV, pySTEPS, boto3), Node.js / Express, FastAPI, Docker, Nginx, TiTiler, AWS CLI, PostgreSQL - Frontend & WebGL / WebGIS: JavaScript (ES6+), WebGL2 / GLSL Shaders, MapLibre GL JS, OpenLayers, Deck.gl, CesiumJS, HTML5 Canvas, D3.js, React / Vite. - Infrastructure & Cloud: AWS (EC2/S3), Cloudflare R2 / Pages, Docker, Self-hosted Linux processing nodes, Nginx tile distribution
