About me

My name is Fernando Salazar. My work sits between geospatial analysis, software, and applied data science. I started as a civil engineer working with GIS and geodatabases, where I learned Python and SQL because the work demanded it. Processing spatial data taught me how much value sits between raw public datasets and something people can actually use.

That curiosity pulled me from querying data into building full applications. I spent time doing field mapping while teaching myself to code, eventually moved into software engineering, and finished a master's in data science last year. MexiMaps brings those pieces together: geospatial analysis, software, and applied data science.
