Hi, I'm Bryan! I work on Open Source map stuff.

I maintain the OpenStreetMap Rapid editor.

I've previously worked as an engineer at Kaart working on maps at Meta, served on the board of directors for OpenStreetMap US, and worked as an engineer at Mapbox.

I also like to run long distances, play jazz music, and cook things with fire.

Don't be shy about contacting me, I'm always
interested to meet new people!
