Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian O'hare is an experienced geospatial developer with 11 years building full-stack GIS web applications, from PostGIS-backed Mapbox vector tile services to Earth Engine analytics on GCP serverless functions. He combines deep Python/Django/GeoDjango expertise with modern front-end skills in Vue and Mapbox GL JS to deliver production geospatial platforms for clients including The World Bank and nonprofits like Rainforest Foundation and HOT. Comfortable with DevOps tooling (Docker, Ansible, CI/CD) and spatial standards (OGC, INSPIRE, ISO metadata), he designs systems that make complex geospatial and machine-learning outputs accessible to non-technical users. He also mentors full-stack students part-time and teaches GIS, reflecting a strong commitment to knowledge transfer and community capacity building. Passionate about ecology, permaculture and social justice, he deliberately chooses projects that advance environmental and resilience goals. A practical systems thinker, he has repeatedly rebuilt core geospatial architectures (e.g., HOT Export Tool rework, Explorer.Land analytics) to improve scalability and usability.
