The fields of data and data literacy are vast and this website represents only a fraction of all the available knowledge and information.

About me

I am free and open stuff advocate from the Philippines who works at the intersections of the openness, data, technology, and geospatial fields. I am an alumnus of the School of Data Fellowship and Data Expert Programme with 8+ years of experience providing training, support, and consulting services on data literacy and free and open source software for geospatial (FOSS4G) applications to individuals, government agencies, the private sector, and civil society.

I support and take an active role in the open data and open mapping communities in the Philippines as an individual and through BNHR, my open data and open geospatial consultancy, and SmartCT, a tech non-profit that I co-founded. You can find me online on my website and on Facebook, YouTube (subscribe), Twitter, and Mastodon.
