- Bio
- Robert leads mapping projects at Development Seed. His background in geographic information systems (GIS) and international development makes him a great resource when we are tasked with transforming our partners’ data into easy-to-use tools that deliver high value to researchers and policy makers.
In this realm, he has led projects that greatly improved access to basic GIS data in seven African countries by extending the data set in Open Street Map and is currently working on several mapping and open data projects in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Robert’s passion for utilizing low-tech options and finding simple solutions to complex problems makes him a key resource on projects.
Before joining Development Seed, Robert held technology and research positions at a number of organizations, including the World Resources Institute, the Smithsonian, and Chicago’s Center for Neighborhood Technology. His responsibilities have included GIS, policy research, data analysis, and communications strategy. He draws from this diversity of experience to help quickly identify needs, develop practical user stories, and fine tune workflows.
