About

I am a research software engineer in the GeoSpatial and AI team at the University of Glasgow and a self-employed computational geographer. I am a GeoTools developer in my spare time. I used to teach a course on open web standards at Penn State University.

If you found my help so useful that just up voting seems too little you can buy me a coffee at https://ko-fi.com/ianturton
