About the Author

Pablo Carreira is a Python programmer and a full stack developer living in S?o Paulo state, Brazil. He is now the lead developer of an advanced web platform for precision agriculture and actively uses Python as a backend solution for efficient geoprocessing.

Born in 1980, Brazil, Pablo graduated as an agronomical engineer. Being a programming enthusiast and self-taught since childhood, he learned programming as a hobby and later honored his techniques in order to solve work tasks.

Having 8 years of professional experience in geoprocessing, he uses Python along with geographic information systems in order to automate processes and solve problems related to precision agriculture, environmental analysis, and land division.

I would like to thank my mother and father for the support given through all my life. I also would like to thank my wife for her help and patience in face of my absence during all the writing sessions.

I thank my university teacher José Paulo Molin, who first introduced me to geoprocessing and precision agriculture and created in me a deep interest in the area and gave the means for my development. Finally, I thank my good friend Gerardo F. E. Perez for all the opportunities that he presented me with and for the uncountable hours of good technical discussions.
