This repository serves as an entry point to my work around geospatial systems, focused on interoperability, open standards, and scalable architectures.
I work primarily on building and integrating geospatial systems using open source technologies, with an emphasis on:
- OGC standards (WMS, WFS, WFS-T, OGC API)
- Spatial data pipelines and transformation
- Web-based geospatial applications
- Interoperability between services and platforms
- Backend: Python, Django, PostGIS
- Geospatial servers: GeoServer, GeoNode
- Data processing: GDAL/OGR
- Frontend: OpenLayers (with Vue / Quasar)
- APIs: REST + OGC services
Exploration of flexible API patterns as alternatives or complements to traditional WFS services, including:
- Advanced querying (filters, grouping, aggregation)
- Direct GeoJSON delivery from PostGIS
- Controlled exposure of spatial data via API layers
Practical implementation and extension of:
- WMS for visualization
- WFS / WFS-T for data access and editing
- Early adoption of OGC API (Features / Processes)
Including real-world challenges such as:
- Authentication (OAuth2 / OIDC)
- Permissions and access control
- Interoperability between clients and servers
Work around geospatial processing pipelines, including:
- Integration with WPS engines like ZOO-Project
- Automation of spatial workflows
- Data transformation using GDAL
Development of interactive geospatial applications using:
- OpenLayers for map rendering
- Vue / Quasar for UI
- Integration with backend geospatial services
Including:
- Field data capture interfaces
- Visualization of spatial datasets
- Vector tiles (MVT) and performance optimization
Design of modular and decoupled geospatial systems:
- Separation of concerns between API, data, and rendering layers
- Hybrid architectures (server + client-heavy)
- Exploration of lightweight alternatives to monolithic stacks
I have contributed to the geospatial open source ecosystem through:
- Issue reporting and validation
- Technical discussions and support
- Pull requests and small improvements
Including contributions to projects such as:
- ZOO-Project (WPS implementation)
- Other GIS-related repositories
- OGC API adoption and implementation
- Flexible geospatial APIs beyond traditional standards
- Processing services exposure (OGC API - Processes)
- Optimization of geospatial data delivery (MVT, APIs, pipelines)

This is an evolving set of projects and experiments around real-world geospatial problems, particularly focused on practical implementation rather than theoretical approaches.
