Mapping Projects Since 2024
Here are a few featured projects I’ve worked on in the past few years. In the Medium article I discuss how I got started using DuckDB and the Fused.io platform. The projects vary from heatmaps with building footprint data from Overture Maps via Source Cooperative to remote sensing with open source options such as Landsat and Sentinel-2. I often use DuckDB with the H3 Extension. Most of the code from these projects is available on GitHub: fused_udfs · duckdb_h3.
