A LITTLE SPATIAL PLAYGROUND

What is geospatial?

Geospatial is data connected to a place. Click or tap the railway map, then set a search distance to find nearby features. Focus the map and use the arrow keys to move your spot.

01 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Technical by nature.
Curious by default.

I’m a developer with a strong interest in how software and spatial data can make complex systems easier to understand and work with.

I enjoy turning intricate information into useful tools, clear maps, and dependable workflows. I’m currently working in the railway geospatial industry, but my curiosity extends well beyond any one field.

My background also includes building for the web, and I bring that product-minded approach to every problem — from the underlying data to the experience people use every day.
