Join us to chat about maps with Codie See, an experienced geospatial software engineer! On Wednesday, November 12 at 2 p.m. Central time, join us via Zoom or meet us in the Cartography Lab in Science Hall (room 250). Codie will be remote, but we’d still love to gather in person!
This Map Chat examines the nature of contract work in web-based mapping, where design, data, and modern web technologies converge. Through examples of recent projects, the talk highlights how an independent cartographer might navigate creative and technical demands, manage scope and timelines, and adapt to evolving tools and expectations. It also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development process from concept to code and the blend of problem-solving, collaboration, and iteration that bring interactive mapping applications to life.
