Eric Fischer joins the MapBox team! We have worked with Eric on some incredible projects, from mapping 3 billion tweets, to visualizing OpenStreetMap contributors across the globe, to analyzing the OpenStreetMap 2013 data report, and identifying opportunities for improvement in OpenStreetMap - so this is a natural fit. Having Eric now full time as part of our growing team in San Francisco is going to be awesome.
Eric was previously a member of the Android team at Google and was most recently an artist in residence at the Exploratorium. He will be continuing to work on tools and techniques for innovative big data visualizations and on improving the accuracy of the underlying OpenStreetMap base map through GPS verification and updated data imports.
