- Implement a stereological ore estimation module and a multimodal AI-driven EDA engine that automates pattern discovery, anomaly flagging, and volume/grade estimation across geological, assay, and survey datasets — replacing a manual interpretation workflow that took geologists 2–3 hours per site survey.
- Develop a high-performance point cloud and geological data visualization system on Potree and 3D Tiles, rendering large-scale subsurface LiDAR and terrain scans directly in-browser for real-time interactive interpretation.
- Integrate Copernicus multispectral satellite data into the core ingestion pipeline to power bauxite deposit prediction over user-selected bounding boxes, extending the platform beyond borehole-only datasets.
- Design and ship a full CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions that promotes releases across staging and production with blue-green deployment, delivering zero-downtime cutovers and instant rollbacks.
- Harden production infrastructure across 4 core subsystems with Docker container health checks, database connection pooling, and automated nightly backups — cutting idle compute cost by 70%.
