I started my journey in OSM Mapping contribution in September 2020. I have worked in multiple OSM HOT Tasking projects in ID editor and JOSM. The community has been a blessing for me as it was more engaging and conscious of OSM mapping and having a journey making the world a better place through OSM Mapping.

At the end of December 2023 Open Mapping Hub- Asia Pacific hosted a program call to all active contributors to embark on a journey with AP-Hub of fellowship of active mapping and community engagement with AP-Hub network and OSM community. I passed the exam with joyous remarks. I was selected for Mapping track out of 15 been selected for the Mapping Track of OM Guru Fellowship. There was 3 different track set by AP-Hub, one Mapping track (tasked for mapping), 2nd Validation Track (tasked for validation of OSM Mapping), and 3rd Training track (Tasked for training participants). On first month, we had 100 task mapping in HOT Tasking Manager. It was a rigorous mapping in Philippines, Vanuatu and Micronesia. On 2nd month, we have worked on Everydoor App POI collection. I have roamed around my neighborhood to taking detailed data of the POIs. On the 3rd month March 2024, we worked on Mapillary of 500 images. Then on 4th month April, we worked on QGIS mapping, before and after image of OSM Mapping and 100 mapping tasks in HOT Tasking Manager. On 5th month May 2024, we validated 200 tasks in HOT Tasking Manager.

The entire journey had made me a consistent mapper and having learnt many new applications to contribute to OSM Mapping, I am grateful to AP-hub for the amazing opportunity.
