Welcome to My Technical Blog

Welcome to my technical blog! I’m Gokul Ganesan, a geospatial data engineer with experience building systems that serve billions of requests and process petabytes of spatial data. What You’ll Find Here This blog focuses on practical insights from building production geospatial systems at companies like Mapbox, EagleView, and Sagri. I’ll be sharing: Technical Deep-Dives: Detailed explorations of geospatial algorithms, data structures, and optimization techniques Architecture & Performance: How to build scalable systems that handle massive spatial datasets Geospatial Engineering: Best practices for working with spatial data, from ETL to visualization Sustainability Tech: Using technology to solve environmental challenges Industry Insights: Lessons learned from building production systems My Approach Every post will be grounded in real-world experience. When I write about optimizing a spatial index or designing a distributed processing pipeline, it’s based on systems I’ve actually built and the challenges I’ve faced. ...
