Geospatial Engineering Projects

This repository serves as an entry point to my work around geospatial systems, focused on interoperability, open standards, and scalable architectures.

Overview

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

Core Stack

  • Backend: Python, Django, PostGIS
  • Geospatial servers: GeoServer, GeoNode
  • Data processing: GDAL/OGR
  • Frontend: OpenLayers (with Vue / Quasar)
  • APIs: REST + OGC services

Areas of Work

1. Geospatial APIs and Data Access

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

2. OGC Services Integration

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

3. Processing and Workflows

Work around geospatial processing pipelines, including:

  • Integration with WPS engines like ZOO-Project
  • Automation of spatial workflows
  • Data transformation using GDAL

4. Web Mapping Applications

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

5. Architecture and Infrastructure

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

Open Source Contributions

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

Current Focus

  • 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)

Notes

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