OpenMapTiles Vector Tile Schema Implementation
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer / Data Engineer
Back-end Developer / Data EngineerContributions:1 release, 11 reviews, 82 commits in 2 years 7 months
Contributions summary:Eva primarily contributed to the back-end logic and data processing aspects of the project, focusing on enhancing the vector tile schema implementation. Their work involved modifying SQL functions and views, particularly within the `water` and `landuse` layers, to correctly classify and display geographic features. Additionally, they made significant changes to the `boundary` and `transportation` layers by adding new data sources and improving existing data processing. These changes suggest a focus on refining the data model and improving the accuracy of the map tiles.
