Conflict(s) of Interest.

Currently, I have no (traditional or financial) conflicts of interest between my personal endeavors and those of OpenStreetMap (OSM/OSMF) or the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Current Roles.

I began my 2-year term as a Member of the HOT Board of Directors in October 2024. I also remain actively involved as a volunteer with several HOT Working Groups and will likely take on a Board role in additional Committees or Working Groups (TBD). I am also a paying member of the OSM US chapter and participate in the OSM community in the Philippines. My contributions to OSM include global mapping for disaster and humanitarian response, and occasionally "just for fun."

Past Roles.

I have previously worked as a contractor and employee for HOT and served two terms as Chairperson of HOT's Voting Members. Before joining HOT, I completed contract and volunteer work related to OSM for the American Red Cross and Depiction, Inc. For more details, you can visit my LinkedIn profile.
