Michael Thoreau

Lead Developer

I created Project Kiwi simply because these tools did not exist until now, despite the potential we see in them. I hold a couple of degrees (BE, BSc, MSc) from institutions such as the University of Queensland, and New York University but more importantly I have been working on application focused Machine Learning for the past 5 years.

With Project kiwi, we aim to enable geospatial data-science in a wider variety of applications and with less barriers to entry.
