Integrate modern web mapping frameworks such as Mapbox GL JS, CesiumJS, OpenLayers, or Leaflet.
Implement map projection transformations and coordinate system conversions.
Optimize rendering for large datasets (multi‑GB satellite imagery, high‑resolution radar) while achieving smooth 60fps animation.
Build and optimize data streaming workflows from AWS services (S3, CloudFront) to the browser.
Work with diverse geospatial and meteorological data formats including HDF5, netCDF, GRIB2, GeoTIFF, and Shapefiles.
