About Jeremy

Jeremy is a GIS Specialist with a passion for transforming raw data into meaningful visual interpretations. His BSc in Geoinformatics from the University of Pretoria provided a strong foundation in both the technical and creative aspects of geographic information systems.

At the core of Jeremy’s work is cartography - the art and science of map making. He understands that maps are not just technical products but communication tools that tell stories and reveal patterns hidden in data.

His focus on visual interpretation means that Jeremy pays careful attention to how information is presented. Colour choices, symbol design, layout, and hierarchy all play into creating maps that are not only accurate but also beautiful and easy to understand.

Jeremy is an advocate for open source technology, believing that powerful GIS tools should be accessible to everyone. His work at Kartoza often involves helping clients achieve professional cartographic results using QGIS and other open source software.

Based in South Africa, Jeremy contributes to projects across various domains, from environmental mapping to urban planning. His ability to convert complex data into clear visual representations makes him a valuable team member for any project requiring cartographic expertise.
