Ivan Willig

GIS Developer

Before joining OpenGeo, Ivan worked extensively with GIS and GPS technologies; in particular ArcMap and other ESRI products, but also open source alternatives like Grass GIS and QGIS. He had also worked with Mapserver, Openlayers and PostGIS.

At OpenGeo Ivan is the 'demo czar', ensuring that everything our demos meet the highest standards. He also leads work on a set of high quality map tiles derived from OpenStreetMap data served by the OpenGeo Suite, showcased at maps.opengeo.org,. He specializes in applying OpenGeo technology to meet client needs. After quickly putting together prototypes and styling data to show what is possible with the OpenGeo Suite, Ivan works with clients to turn the ideas in to reality.
