-Ragi was born and raised in Perú and currently lives in San Francisco.
-He worked at ESRI's Professional Service group (creating production solutions for National Geographic, NGA, UKHO, etc) and later moved to ESRI's GeoDatabase group where he designed/coded/debugged the code related to versioning, editing behavior, spatial caches etc. After 7 years of this, he moved to Microsoft to work in games (Microsoft Flight Simulator). Not adjusting to life in Redmond, he decided to scratch an entrepreneurship itch he had and decided to move to the Bay Area to learn more about startups in Silicon Valley where he fell in love with the startup community.
-Along the way, Ragi ran a [http://www.burhumllc.com/ successful GIS software consulting company] that specialized in combining ESRI and Open Source software stacks and founded a [http://angel.co/modewalk venture-backed luxury fashion startup] (yes, nothing to do with geo!). He is currently working in the latest venture he founded (a mobile-based - iOS/Android - mapping application framework / service).
-Ragi has contributed to GDAL (creator of [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_ao.html ArcObjects] / [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_filegdb.html FileGDB driver]) as well as [http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/changeset/2556 sprinkled patches throughout some of OSGeo's sponsored projects].
-He is also an active member of the OSGeo CA chapter where he sometimes hosts, helps coordinate meetings for the chapter, or helps with the participation of the chapter in various Bay Area events.
-In addition, he currently runs the most successful Meetup related to geospatial technologies in the world: the [http://www.meetup.com/geomeetup GeoMeetup]. Every meeting gathers 100+ people that come from various companies in the Bay Area (Google, Twitter, Facebook, Apple, etc) as well as non-profit organizations.
-When time allows, he speaks at [https://www.postgresqlconference.org/content/how-build-your-own-mapping-website-using-open-source-geo-stack different conferences] about [http://en.oreilly.com/mysql2011/public/schedule/speaker/84109 various topics] to raise awareness about OSGeo - event if it means [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSCON_2009 having to carry, setup, teardown and sit at the booth all day] (what better way to raise awareness about FOSS4G while fixing bugs) :)
