Ryan Laird | GIS Developer

About Me

Welcome! I am a Visual Information Specialist with a passion for all aspects of GIS. I have spent much of my career as a cartographer working with satellite imagery, and I have recently started web development and scripting while I obtain my M.S. in GIS and Web Map Programming from UW Madison. When not making maps and infographics, you can typically find me mountain biking, hiking, and attempting to travel to one unique place each year. Check out some of my maps below and refer to the Resume page for more information regarding my experience. Cheers!
