Website | Attendee Directory Profile

Originally trained as an economist, I fled the City of London to work in GIS. For the past 6 years, I have been a GeoSpatial developer and open source enthusiast working for a UK-based mapping company. I live in Barcelona, where I devote what time I don’t spend in front of a computer to my wife and kids and to outdoor pursuits, particularly skiing and cycling.
