Senior GIS & Full-Stack Developer | 14+ Years | Web GIS, SaaS & Spatial Dashboards
I build production-grade Web GIS applications that help teams visualize, analyze, and act on location data — from asset tracking and indoor/floor mapping to weather, safety, and real-time dashboards.
Stack: OpenLayers, Leaflet, Mapbox/MapLibre, Google Maps, React/Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GeoJSON, WMS/WMTS. I also deliver QGIS workflows, GeoPackage layers, and geocoding/data pipelines when projects start from raw spatial data.
What I deliver:
• Interactive Web GIS apps & admin panels
• High-performance maps (clustering, tiling, large datasets)
• Geocoding, spatial ETL, and API integration
• Mobile GIS (React Native) when needed
• Clear communication with non-technical stakeholders
Recent focus: end-to-end GIS deliverables (QGIS + web), geocoding at scale, and GIS-enabled SaaS platforms.
If you have shapefiles, CSVs, or messy coordinates — or need a map that must stay fast with real data — I can help from data prep through deployment.
