Kia ora ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Melanie

Melanie van Enter, GIS and geospatial specialist

GIS and geospatial specialist based in Canterbury, New Zealand. I turn open spatial data into pipelines, web maps, and tools people can actually use.

My work sits where geospatial analysis meets software. I automate data cleaning with Python, wrangle messy GIS data into clean schemas, and put the results on the web. I care about maps that are accurate, readable, and useful.
