Member of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, I work in city-development / regional economics in Berlin. I am also a pilot for ultralight planes and gliders. So naturally, maps have become a bit of a passion.

What I’m mapping and why:

  • industrial and commercial-use areas for regio-economical analysis
  • remote areas in southern Africa for research purposes (field research in linguistics)
  • hot-osm tasks when i have the time
  • the village i come from
  • see my activity on osm

How I am using osm:

  • for work in regional-economical analysis, site evaluations, development concepts

example map

commercial land-use map

  • for documentation and communication about our project-areas (for example in QGIS or as a webmap like here)
  • as basis for scientific maps in the area of african linguistics (commissioned maps)
  • for maps on our company-blog
  • for my personal blog
