Niene Boeijen is a freelance web cartographer and front-end developer with 11 years of experience building interactive, high-performance web maps using React, TypeScript, MapLibre GL, PostGIS and D3.js. With a Master’s in Geographic Information Science from Wageningen University, she blends rigorous geospatial data processing and vector-tile pipeline optimization with thoughtful visual design and open-source component libraries. She researches critical and feminist cartography and applies participatory mapping methods to pursue social-justice oriented projects, bringing uncommon interdisciplinary sensitivity to technical map UX. An active community builder—organizing Maptime chapters and serving as President of OSGeo.nl—she translates emerging geo-community trends into practical tools and workshops. Based in Veghel, Netherlands, she consults on map UX and teaches cartography, pairing creative visual instincts (Inkscape, QGIS) with Linux-based development workflows.
