Daniel has spent 15 years wandering around the geospatial industry in various roles, which has given him plenty of opportunities to see what works (and what spectacularly doesn't).

For the past 5 years, he's been hosting the Mapscaping podcast, where he's had the privilege of chatting with hundreds of geospatial folks - from brilliant developers building the tools we all use, to researchers pushing boundaries, to the unsung heroes keeping projects alive. These conversations have given him a front-row seat to watch how communities form, flourish, and sometimes flame out.
