Lauren Jacobson is now a member of the Development Seed team! We initially met Lauren at OSM’s State of the Map where her love of maps, mapping and open source were immediately obvious. Her dedication to others is also evidenced by her time spent as a Fulbright Fellow in Indonesia as well as her active involvement in the local community, helping to support the awesome Women Who Code program here in DC.

Lauren will be utilizing the full extent of her flexible skillset working on things ranging from OSM data imports to frontend site implementation to data ingest scripting. We’re excited to have her join the team and make an immediate impact on our projects.

You can find Lauren on Twitter or GitHub and out and about at various mapping and open data events in the area.
