Fullstack application in development that allows users to find and share information about Latin dance socials around the world.

Hello! I'm Gerard🌍
About Me

I'm a 28-year-old GIS software developer with a passion for maps, athletics and latin dancing. Originally from Lleida, Spain, I've been calling the Netherlands home for the past four and a half years.
My journey has been shaped by a deep fascination with geographic data and its exciting applications in the digital world. When I'm not immersed in code, you'll find me dancing salsa and bachata, hitting the track for some athletics, capturing moments through photography, or competing enthusiastically in Geoguessr (I'm a bit of a pro!).
Professionally, my journey began with a degree in Geography and Spatial Planning from Universitat de Lleida, Spain, followed by a Master's in Geo-Information Science from Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. This academic foundation has propelled me into a specialized role focusing on geospatial software and web development.
I'm passionate about leveraging these skills to innovate and solve complex spatial problems. My approach combines technical expertise with creative problem-solving, always aiming to deliver data-driven solutions and impactful visualizations.
Beyond my professional skills, I bring unique perspectives from my experiences as a former international athlete in 60m and 110m hurdles and as an EASA certified drone pilot-operator. These experiences have honed my discipline, attention to detail, and ability to perform under pressure.
Want to chat about maps, tech, or maybe share some dance moves? Feel free to reach out!

An app that lets the most geo-curious find cities in the same latitude or longitude as a given city or point.
This application shows photos where I appear from different places I've been. It is a personal project that I use as a photo gallery and to practice my skills in web development and GIS.
During my time in The People Group I worked in the development and enhancement of this web-gis viewer. The viewer is a modular web-gis application that allows the administrator to customize the viewer to their needs, in a quick and efficient way.
