My name is Arun and have lived in Abu Dhabi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Dharamsala, Mumbai, Washington DC and now in Goa. While navigating my surroundings with by walking, hiking, cycling and using public transport, OSM becomes a great place to map my journeys across the earth.
Started making maps for Wikipedia in 2005 and eventually started contributing to OSM from 2008 to be able to create better maps using open data.
Currently working at Mapbox as a cartographic engineer to build the future of web mapping.
