PROFILE
Justin Braaten
Over six months, contributed to the google/earthengine-catalog repository by delivering six features and resolving documentation issues to improve geospatial data usability and clarity. Enhanced Landsat and DEM dataset documentation, added structured metadata, and implemented user-facing guidance for EECU usage and algorithm references, supporting reproducibility and onboarding. Improved NDVI visualization and multispectral rendering using JavaScript and Earth Engine, while refining terrain analysis workflows for native CRS support. Demonstrated skills in Python, data visualization, and metadata management, with a focus on traceable, reviewable commits. The work emphasized robust documentation, user accessibility, and alignment with project governance for Earth observation workflows.
