About me |
Hi, I'm Dror Bogin.
I am married to Diana and Father to Noga & Roni.
I am a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Developer with a focus on open source technology.
Experienced in creating interactive web maps with JavaScript, processing data with Python and R, and using open source server side applications such as GeoServer and PostGIS, as well as developing instructional material, and plugins, and instructing workshops on QGIS.
I also like:
- Learning about open source GIS tools.
- Exploring QGIS, especially to see what can be done with its expression engine.
- Building QGIS plugins.
- Building efficient ways to display spatial data online.
- Using tools like GDAL, GeoServer and PostGIS for solving problems that can't be handled by proprietary software.
I also like trying out new brands of beer (mostly stouts and ales), Sci-fi and Fantasy books and writing about GIS, code and cool things I found out are not as impossible as one would think, and you can find my blog at https://bogind.github.io/blog
