Description

Gideon Singer is a Solutions Engineer at CARTO. He is another guest from Geospatial Risk Summit. Gideon gave a technical presentation on the first day about processing pipelines in CARTO. It was a sign of how far the platform has progressed since I began using it over a decade ago. Back then it was called CartoDB. In this episode he continues the demonstration of analysis, mapping and presentation in CARTO. This time in the context of broadband network access quality for senior citizens. He was also game for a description of spatial indexing which I didn’t warn him about! Another aspect of this conversation that I appreciated was being able to talk about my efforts to animate the Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia War bombing sortie dataset, using CartoDB back in the day. Gideon showed us that he and by extension CARTO have an interest in applications of our profession to map and examine injustice.
