About me
I like everything related to open data and open source. Right now I work for the OpenStreetMap Foundation on the GPS traces modernization project, and I also take care of the infrastructure behind OpenHistoricalMap. Before that I worked at Mapbox and Development Seed, where I did a lot of OpenStreetMap editing and built tools to process OSM data and improve mapping workflows. I still enjoy contributing to the OSM community, so don’t hesitate to ping me if you have questions!
