April 2026: OSGeo/gdal delivered a new Spatial Reference System Behavior Control for Raster Reads to improve cross-CRS filtering accuracy, interoperability, and performance. Implemented SRS_BEHAVIOR option (OVERRIDE/REPROJECT) addressing how SRS is applied during raster reads. This fixes prior issues where spatial filter rectangles were not transformed from the output SRS to the index layer's native SRS when SRS and bounds were provided, enabling REPROJECT mode to reproject STAC Catalogs to a target SRS. Result: more reliable spatial queries, reduced I/O, and smoother STAC catalog integration.

January 2026: Delivered comprehensive STAC API documentation enhancements for MAAP-Project/maap-documentation. Key features include: (1) HLS STAC Geoparquet Archive query guidance with setup, examples, and direct S3 access; (2) STAC metadata generation guidance for DPS job outputs with code examples and API usage explanations; (3) Federated Collection Discovery API documentation restructuring with detailed search parameters, usage examples, and visual aids. No major bugs fixed this month; minor issues addressed within PRs. Overall impact: improved developer onboarding, faster integration, and clearer guidance across STAC APIs. Technologies/skills demonstrated: API documentation design, example-driven guidance, markdown documentation, STAC standards, and AWS S3 access patterns.
