Location: Nantes, France

Thomas works in Geospatial since 2006. After studies in Geography and Urban planning, focused on GIS analysis and data extraction, he switched to GIS development and in particular web mapping. He enjoys JavaScript, PHP and Python and server side OSGeo tools like MapServer, TinyOWS, ZOO Project or GeoServer but he also use a lot QGIS for analysis.

At the moment, I'm working as a freelancer in Geospatial under the WebGeoDataVore banner
