I build production geospatial applications - from interactive MapLibre/Mapbox interfaces and GIS dashboards to Python/PostGIS data pipelines, spatial analytics, location intelligence, and geospatial APIs. I'm a Mapbox Developer Network Expert and senior geospatial software engineer with 10+ years on Upwork, $300K+ earned across 95 projects, 7,000+ hours, 100% Job Success, and Top Rated Plus status. My work typically involves one or more of these areas: INTERACTIVE WEB MAPPING MapLibre GL JS, Mapbox GL JS, Leaflet, Deck.gl, Google Maps API, ArcGIS JS API, custom vector/raster layers, complex map interactions and data visualization. SPATIAL ANALYSIS & LOCATION INTELLIGENCE PostGIS, GeoPandas, Shapely, Turf.js, proximity and catchment analysis, spatial joins, scoring models, demographic/POI analysis, and site-selection workflows. GEOSPATIAL DATA ENGINEERING Python, GDAL/OGR, pandas, large vector/raster datasets, ETL pipelines, data normalization, tiling, PMTiles, GeoJSON, and automated data-processing workflows. BACKEND & INTEGRATION PostgreSQL/PostGIS, REST APIs, Docker, cloud deployments, third-party data services, and integration of geospatial functionality into existing web platforms and applications. FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT JavaScript/TypeScript, Vue.js, React, responsive interfaces, dashboards, charts, filters, and data-driven UI. I’m especially useful on projects where mapping is not just a visual add-on, but an important part of the product or decision-making workflow. I can join an existing codebase, investigate and improve an inherited system, or build a geospatial application from the ground up. I’m comfortable working independently, translating product requirements into technical architecture, and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. If your project involves maps, spatial data, location intelligence, PostGIS, geospatial APIs, or complex GIS workflows, I’d be happy to discuss it.

I build custom interactive maps, WebGIS applications, geospatial dashboards, and data-driven web platforms with Mapbox — from spatial data and custom interfaces to production-ready applications. With 11+ years of experience and 130+ completed projects, I help companies, startups, research teams, and organizations transform complex geographic data into clear, fast, and engaging digital products. My work combines GIS, interactive map development, frontend engineering, data visualization, UX, Mapbox, backend integrations, and product architecture. I can help you build: • Custom interactive maps and interactive web maps • High-performance Mapbox GL JS, MapLibre, D3.js, Turf.js, and Deck.gl applications • WebGIS and geospatial web applications • Geospatial dashboards and location intelligence platforms • Map-based SaaS products and MVPs • Data visualization and data storytelling experiences • Research, climate, real estate, tourism, culture, and event mapping tools • Spatial data processing and automated data workflows • Search, filtering, custom map interfaces, and complex user interactions • API, database, and cloud integrations for geospatial products My role is to manage the full workflow behind a geospatial digital product: understanding and processing the data, defining the architecture, designing the user experience, building the interface, integrating the required systems, and preparing the application for production. This end-to-end approach is especially useful for projects involving complex spatial datasets, custom interactions, performance requirements, multiple data sources, or applications that need to go beyond a standard embedded map. If you need an interactive map, WebGIS application, geospatial dashboard, or complete location-based web product, I can help turn it into a reliable, technically solid, and visually clear application.

"Akshay is extremely talented, intelligent, and patient (with me). I've been lucky to find him." "Smart and talented expert. I am really happy with his work. Highly recommended. Thank you very much." With one of the few feedbacks I've received with few years of amazing experience, I believe I'm ready to take the challenge of a full-time freelancer. I'm Pro GIS developer with knowledge not only limited to development. I have professional skills in GIS, Web development, desktop tool development, Image Processing, GIS data creation and project management. If you're looking for someone who can not only develop amazing products but also manage your whole project, you're in right place. My Goal: To apply the knowledge of Geospatial Studies to real life problems and help in the development of decision making theories and tools to deal with the same. My Skills: ArcGIS API for Javascript / Web app builder, Javascript, Python, ArcObjects, ArcMap, Erdas Imagine, GIS data creation, Leaflet, Open source, Flex, Project Management, Mobile and web application development. Thanks for reading my profile, will love to work together and make a strong relationship.

I turn complex geographic information, rough plans, GIS data, spreadsheets, sketches and existing maps into clear, accurate and visually compelling maps for print, presentations, reports, exhibitions and digital use. For more than 25 years, I have worked at the intersection of cartography, GIS, graphic design and illustration. My projects range from publication and book maps to property developments, tourism maps, environmental studies, museum graphics, corporate presentations, trail networks, infrastructure projects and interactive web maps. Many clients come to me with material that is technically correct but difficult to understand or visually unsuitable: an ArcGIS export, survey drawing, AutoCAD plan, shapefile, spreadsheet of locations, Google Earth reference, hand-drawn sketch or outdated map. I transform that material into a polished communication product while preserving geographic accuracy and making future updates practical. My work includes: • Custom cartographic design and map illustration • GIS analysis, spatial modeling and data preparation • Property development, subdivision and site-plan maps • Tourism, resort, trail, park and visitor maps • Editorial, book, historical and educational maps • Environmental, climate and scientific mapping • Executive presentation maps and infographics • Terrain visualization, shaded relief and 3D mapping • Large-format exhibition and wall graphics • Interactive web maps and editable vector map systems I regularly deliver layered Adobe Illustrator files, print-ready PDFs, SVGs, high-resolution raster graphics, GIS datasets, KML/KMZ files and web-ready outputs. Clients have included the World Bank, USAID, DAI Global, the Charles Darwin Research Station, the Swedish Forest Agency, Expedition Map LLC, engineering consultancies, publishers, universities, tourism organizations and government agencies. Software: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Blender, Python, FME, SAGA GIS, PostGIS and Leaflet. The result is not merely a map that is technically correct. It is a map designed for its audience, purpose and final format.
