Abstract
How to start transforming my shapefiles? What geo formats should I use for web? How to design geo data processing pipeline? What are geojson, topojson, epsg or shapefiles? Join us for this talk and you'll walk away with a better understanding of Geo Processing with Python. We will go through the design process for map-visualization web app from the geo data processing point of view. Starting with the entire design process for the data pipeline including software architecture, used technologies, automation, mapping the data to the geo-data and optimizing the maps for the web. You will have concrete examples on how this approach was applied in a project for the World Bank. You should walk away with the tools and skills to design and implement a geo data pipeline for their own project.

Originally from Finland, but currently living in Shanghai. I have a degree in telecommunications engineering and have experience on multiple areas including Data Portals, DevOps and Telecommunications.
I work as a Software Engineering Director at Wiredcraft. I balance my time between the roles of software architect, tech lead and programmer. My strength is Python but I am used to working in multilanguage systems. I am also the lead engineer for devo.ps (http://devo.ps).
Programming has been part of my life since young age. In my free time I like to play sports (any sport!) and learn new technologies. I also like attending and presenting in the local engineering meetups.
