While new to Upwork, I am heavily involved with the spatial community and can happily connect you with previous customers and colleagues for references (see my LinkedIn refs). Lastly, I have been closely involved with the geospatial developer community and helped create the Mapbox Developer Network so I am a strong advocate for connecting customers with developers. If we're not a match, I'm certain I can find the right connections for you, so please don't hesitate to reach out!
