GIS, Data Science & ML

About me
My name is Dominik Weckmüller and my mission is to democratize knowledge.
I’m a full-stack software engineer, researcher and geospatial consultant specialized in geoinformatics, particularly GIS, geomarketing and remote sensing with application to social geography. I develop web applications with a focus on geospatial big data science, NLP and deep learning. I worked as a freelancer for:
- private companies
- universities (University of Virginia School of Architecture; Politecnico di Milano Department of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering)
- public bodies (City of Bonn; Joint Research Centre, European Commission).
I strongly believe in open source software and open data. People describe me as a Wildcard Person.
Take a look at my projects like Overture Places Explorer, SemanticFinder or my posts on social media. Press about my cooperation with the city of Bonn, Germany: Generalanzeiger 2023-09-08 (newspaper Bonn, Germany), Bonn City Website.
