As a former European Space Agency engineer in the Netherlands, André Tavares began his career helping build and conduct alignment and dimensional testing on satellites and space hardware, including some of the missions of which I now use data.

In the Netherlands, he founded Skylab Analytics with the mission of developing geospatial data analysis solutions. Already in his home country, Portugal, I co-founded Greendata Lda, with the mission of developing subscription and claim validation solutions for the agricultural insurance sector.
