I've spent 5+ years building production geospatial systems at the intersection of mapping, data engineering, and full-stack web development. We're a Good Match If: ✅ You need an interactive map built from scratch — or significantly improved ✅ You want to embed or integrate mapping functionality into your existing platform ✅ You have large or complex spatial datasets that need processing, automation, or pipeline work ✅ You're building a web mapping platform and need someone who understands both the backend data and the frontend experience ✅ You want a long-term technical partner who communicates clearly and delivers consistently We Might Not Be a Good Fit If: ❌ You are looking for the cheapest quick-fix rather than a scalable, high-quality solution. Sound like a fit? Next steps: Hit "Message" and tell me briefly what you're building or what problem you're trying to solve I'll respond within 1 hour with a clear, honest assessment
