Welcome!
This is my personal corner on the web, where I share thoughts and ideas on
topics I am passionate about: geography, urban planning, cycling, nature,
emergency management, and geographic information systems (GIS).
I graduated from the University of Puerto Rico with a Bachelor’s degree in
Geography and a Professional Master’s in Planning. Over the past 35 years,
I have worked across the private, public, and non-profit sectors, specializing
in applied GIS technologies and planning.
In March 2020, I retired from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) – Region IV – after a decade of service. After retiring, I decided
to put my experience to work for the community. I now contribute to
humanitarian and community initiatives worldwide, supporting the development of open data and GIS tools. I am an active OpenStreetMap contributor and a volunteer with the USGS National Map Corps (TNMCorps), helping improve the geographic data that benefits communities around the world.
Thank you for visiting — I hope you find something here that sparks your interest!
