I'm a former (plasma-)physicist turned software developer. I've always been interested in cartography, both from a technical and an aesthetic perspective, and very recently the company I work for started working with developing GIS and map applications, so yay - I'm almost a professional! I am still more of an engineer and scientist than an artist, but I enjoy trying to develop some artistic sensibilities. I sometimes post stuff I've made at a blog that me and my good friend Dr Grijndvar compete at neglecting: http://eintrittverboten.wordpress.com
