Greetings, I am working on OSM predominantly in the Blue Mountains, in New South Wales, Australia. I mostly like to map land use and public utilities/infrastructure, but am aiming to be a mapping all-rounder. I am quite active on Mapillary with 360 street level imagery; please see my diary entries for more details about my low-cost setup.
I do not import or use AI generated data to map; rather I focus on upholding high data quality standards with manual verification.
Please check out my web app “Osmia” (currently under development) for detecting old geometry:

Note that I am not active on social media aside from OSM World Discord and Reddit. My alias “2hu4u” is a common Japanese-language pun, so please be aware that other accounts on the internet with this username are likely not associated with me (eg. on Twitter). Please do not tag them in mapping related things.
