Map Search Engineer / MapTiler
Software engineer with 20 years of experience. During those decades, I’ve been interested in systems integration, functional programming, stream processing, Java, Scala, and (lately) Rust. I’ve been working as a developer, architect, and team lead in both smaller and larger projects. Currently working on maps and search at MapTiler
Maps and territories
When you planned how to get to the conference venue you probably used digital maps and a routing app. There are ubiquitous now, but how do they work under the hood? We’ll explore the fascinating world of maps and location services. We’ll start with the data - the format, the sources, then explore some of the most interesting/cool algorithms and show how they are used in many more or less known tools and applications. Why? Not only because maps are fascinating, but also because all of the developers can learn a lot about the power of open data, efficient data structures and composable tools!
