Now: Geospatial ML & AI • Next: Data Science / ML Engineering

Turning Earth data into decisions—at scale.

I’m John Salako, a dual Ph.D. candidate working at the intersection of remote sensing, machine learning, and high‑throughput geospatial analytics. My path has progressed from marine geoscience (B.Sc. in Marine Science & Technology), to geology & environmental systems (M.Sc. in Geological Sciences), and now into Data Science and ML Engineering (dual Ph.D. in CMSE + EES).

📍 Arlington, VA (open to US-wide roles) 🧠 Focus: Data-Driven ML • Geospatial AI • Forecasting • MLOps
