World Imagery Wayback

EmployerEsri · Product Engineer II
World Imagery Wayback app — a timeline of imagery versions from 2014 to 2026 alongside satellite imagery of Beijing Daxing International Airport

The ask

A secured browser app for a government client to explore years of historical satellite imagery — on infrastructure that could not go down.

The build

React, Redux, and TypeScript over an imagery API, with assets on AWS S3 and processing on EC2 — part of six years engineering the automation, tiling schemes, and deployment behind Esri’s raster web map tile services.

Why it matters to your firm

The same discipline that serves satellite imagery to millions of map users is what runs your zoning, parcel, and comps layers without babysitting.

  • 6-year tenure at Esri
  • Trusted with a secured gov client
  • AWS S3 + EC2
  • Live on ArcGIS Living Atlas
