Web Tech Lead · open sourcerer · full stack developer

I'm a full stack developer and Web Tech Lead at Situm Technologies, where we do indoor positioning for people and robots. I build the visual layer — map viewers, 3D layers, the code that turns complex spatial data into something fast enough to think with.

Open to collaborating on things that are genuinely interesting.

TypeScript · Node.js · Java · Spring Boot · PostgreSQL · React · Redux · MapLibre · deck.gl · WebGL · three.js · Git
