About me

I have been part of the OpenStreetMap Operations Team since 2017 and since May 2022 I have been employed by the OpenStreetMap Foundation as a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) for the project.

I help maintain and operate the infrastructure that keeps OpenStreetMap.org running reliably for the global community.

I am also an active mapper with a strong interest in Southern Africa, where I have spent considerable time mapping railway infrastructure and power grid networks across the region.

Map layers and imagery

I maintain and help publish several aerial and historic map layers:

Southern Africa

• Swaziland / Eswatini Topographic Maps (1970s–1980s)

Messaging and support

Please note that I am not able to provide individual user support via OpenStreetMap messages.

If you need help with OpenStreetMap, please consider:

• The OpenStreetMap Wiki
• The OpenStreetMap Community Forum
• Email: support [AT] openstreetmap DOT org

Messages requesting account actions or administrative assistance sent via the OSM messaging system are unfortunately unlikely to receive a response.

Thanks for understanding, and happy mapping!
