It’s the end of an era, and the beginning of a new one.
For over a decade I’ve been building interactive maps and data visualizations. From LiDAR point clouds and GIS workflows to WebGL terrain, network graphs, procedural experiments, and client work rooted in spatial storytelling. Each project added a layer and pushed me further into understanding what happens when cartography, code, and curiosity intersect.
But lately I’ve been feeling something shifting, drawing me toward more immersive and experimental work. Projects that blur the boundary between data, art, and experience.
Before stepping fully into that next chapter, I want to acknowledge the path that led here. Starting February 9th, I’m launching #100DayMapChallenge: 100 days revisiting the projects that shaped my transition from traditional GIS to interactive 3D visualization. One project per day. The thinking, breakthroughs, mistakes, and lessons behind each.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s closing a chapter with intention before building the next.
From static maps to immersive environments.
From QGIS to WebGL.
From foundations to frontiers.
Day 1 starts February 9th.

What this campaign covers
Over 100 days I will publish one project per day on LinkedIn and expand each into a long-form post on this blog. The sequence follows roughly chronological order across more than a decade of work: early web mapping and LiDAR processing, D3.js and network visualization, Three.js terrain and globes, and client deliveries in cultural heritage, marine conservation, and environmental data platforms.
Each blog post adds what a social post cannot fit: pipeline decisions, dead ends, performance trade-offs, and links to live demos where they exist.
Who this is for
Geospatial developers moving from desktop GIS to web and 3D. Cartographers curious about WebGL and interactive storytelling. Potential collaborators looking for evidence of delivery, not just experiments. Anyone mid-career navigating a shift in tools or creative direction.
