Robert Cheetham

I am an independent consultant specializing in remote sensing and geospatial technology. For 23 years I was the founder and CEO of Azavea, a B Corporation that created geospatial software and data analytics with a public service mission. Azavea developed and contributed to many open source geospatial projects, including GeoTrellis, Raster Vision, DistrictBuilder, OpenTreeMap, Raster Foundry, Loam, Franklin, Granary, OpenDataPhilly, and Model My Watershed.

I sold Azavea in 2023 to Element 84 where I served as the Chief Strategy Officer during 2023. Prior to founding Azavea, I was a software developer and GIS analyst for the University of Pennsylvania, the City of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Police Department. Before that I was a civil servant in Japan.

🔭 I’m currently working on:

  • Consulting work related to cloud native geospatial technology, open source, open data, and open standards
  • Japan Earth Observer - a monthly newsletter on the space, remote sensing, and geospatial industries in Japan
  • OpenDataPhilly.org - I answer the gmail inbox and help maintain the data catalog
  • Coaching and learning Crossfit

🌱 I’m currently learning:

  • Python in the context of geospatial work
  • Japanese

🤔 I’m looking for help with

  • Tips on what's happening the space, remote sensing, and geospatial technology industries in Japan
