Senior🎓
Top SchoolMannus Etten is a Netherlands-based geospatial problem solver and founder of Right Direction BV with 11+ years of experience building GIS and web applications, primarily using C#, ASP.NET and ESRI technologies such as ArcObjects, ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Pro. He designs and implements end-to-end GIS solutions—standalone ArcObjects tools, server-side apps, webmaps and Collector configurations—and has led technical teams for large municipal and provincial projects.

Skilled at translating complex spatial requirements into practical tools, he excels at making GIS accessible for operational use in safety and public sector contexts.
