I haver experience working as consultant for FAO in the REDD+ proyeject for several countries (Ecuador, Venezuela, Paraguay, Colombia.), to monitoring land changes using optical and SAR imagery. I can perform this task working in unix by using my own scripts which lead me to process large amount of images in an automatic way (Here I use gdal, Open Foris Goespatial toolkint an several other tools programmed in c++, csh, and python), other way is by using Google Earth Engine, in which I have developed a scritp in Javascript, or I can work in windows using matlab or IDL (envi).
My experience involve detection of changes for deforentation, floods, and Land use Dynamics. If you are interested, you can contact me and we can have a meeting by skype, and also I can send you some of my code to let you know a litter bit of my work.
