Week 1
Discovery and alignment
- Stakeholder interviews and success metrics
- Spatial data audit and constraints review
- North star narrative and product brief
Spatial Product Strategy
From discovery to prototype to build support for geo-enabled products.
Building geo-enabled products is complex. From choosing the right mapping stack to designing intuitive spatial interfaces, there are many decisions that can make or break your product. I help product teams navigate these challenges with confidence.
How I Can Help
Discovery
Understand your spatial product needs, user requirements, and technical constraints.
- Stakeholder interviews
- Competitive analysis
- Technical feasibility assessment
- Opportunity mapping
Prototype
Build proof-of-concept maps and visualizations to validate ideas quickly.
- Data exploration
- Visual prototypes
- User testing feedback
- Iteration cycles
Build Support
Hands-on support during development to ensure spatial features ship correctly.
- Architecture guidance
- Code reviews
- Performance optimization
- Launch support
Engagement Sprint Outline
A focused 4-5 week sprint that moves from strategy to prototype and build support.
Weeks 2-3
Prototype and validation
- Low and high fidelity prototype flows
- User testing sessions and synthesis
- Iteration plan with priority fixes
Weeks 4-5
Build support and handoff
- Technical guidance and architecture review
- Performance and usability checklist
- Launch readiness and roadmap handoff
Scope Boundaries
In Scope
- Product strategy for spatial features
- Mapping UX, data model, and flow design
- Prototype validation and roadmap planning
Out of Scope
- Full production engineering or staffing
- Ongoing hosting or infrastructure ops
- Legal or compliance sign-off
Selected Work
Interactive maps and spatial visualizations I've built.
FAQ
What mapping technologies do you work with?
I have experience with Leaflet, Mapbox GL JS, deck.gl, Kepler.gl, and various R packages (sf, ggplot2, rayshader). I can advise on the best choice for your specific needs.
Can you help with data architecture?
Yes. I can advise on spatial databases (PostGIS), tile servers, vector tiles, and data pipelines for geographic data at scale.
Do you write production code?
My primary role is strategic, but I can provide prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and code reviews. For full implementation, I can recommend trusted developers or agencies.
