PROFILE
Steve Hillier
Steve Hillier developed enhancements for the planetlabs/planet-client-python repository, focusing on API usability, developer onboarding, and maintainability. He introduced a synchronous API module, abstracting away asyncio to simplify integration for Python developers, and improved client identification by refining User-Agent headers and internal constants. Steve reorganized SDK and CLI documentation, adding quick-start guides and navigation improvements to streamline onboarding. He extended API geometry input handling to accept both GeoJSON-like dictionaries and string references, increasing flexibility for client applications. Throughout, he emphasized code hygiene and readability, leveraging Python, YAML, and Markdown to deliver well-documented, maintainable features and address minor code quality issues.
