Jed has spent his career working at the intersection of data, product development, cloud computing, economics, and policy. He has helped create data sharing best practices that have been adopted worldwide by NASA, USGS, Google, Microsoft and other institutions around the world. He is a lecturer at the
Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs, a technical fellow at the
Taylor Geospatial Engine, and is a technical advisor to
Flickr Foundation,
PLACE, and the
Center for Open Data Enterprise. A proud student of the humanities, he uses his “spare time” to produce
Techs on Texts, a podcast about the intersection of literature and technology. He is fluent in Spanish, pretty good at Portuguese, and can passably order food in German.
