Tell us about yourself
I’m Darren, an independent software and data engineer based in Spain. My background is in astrophysics — I did my MSc at Leiden University — and over the past decade I’ve been doing a mix of scientific computing, data pipeline work, and backend engineering, mostly in Python. More recently I’ve been building tools in the geospatial space and finding myself increasingly drawn to the open-source community around it.
What do you want to learn / contribute
I’m joining the list partly to get a better sense of where the active problems and projects are, and partly because I’m genuinely interested in contributing — whether that’s on the data infrastructure side, helping with Python tooling, or getting involved with projects that sit at the intersection of geospatial and scientific computing. I don’t have a specific agenda yet, which is part of why I’m here. Happy to be pointed in useful directions.
