PROFILE
Hamish Steptoe
Hamish Steptoe developed a Shape Masking API Enhancement for the SciTools/iris repository, focusing on modernizing shape-based masking workflows. He introduced the mask_cube_from_shape API, which replaces deprecated functionality and expands support for complex geospatial shapes. The work involved refactoring the existing masking logic to improve maintainability and performance, while integrating optional dependencies such as rasterio and affine to enhance feature support. Using Python and leveraging libraries like Shapely and Pyproj, Hamish aligned the new API with common GIS workflows, reducing integration overhead. This update provided a more robust foundation for geospatial data handling and streamlined future development in the library.
