Hi, I'm Rebecca. I'm a Geographer, Cartographer and Envrionmental Scientist specializing in spatial analysis, frontend JS development and web mapping employing the generous opensource use of Mapbox, OpenStreetMaps, and a cool library called leaflet.
I enjoy the bridging of Front-end mapping with Back-end GIS Analysis. My recent project: Playing with Lidar and satellite imagery on a tree inventory for a local non-profit.
When I'm not yelling into the void about coding errors, I'm reading, writing, hiking, camping and making memories with my family.
If you want to dig into some of my technical documenation for how the above magic happened or see my favorite mappy social interactions visit my Twitter, Github or LinkedIn linked below.
