About Me
Hi, I'm Ben Churchwell and I am geospatial consultant who specializes in coastal and oceanographic mapping. I'm currently focused on learning software development to expand my skill set and solve geospatial problems. Learning to code is important to me so that I can expand my current geospatial skills, or maybe even try something entirely new! When not in front of the computer screen I love to get outside and enjoy the beautiful pacific northwest. I'm currently doing a coding bootcamp at Epicodus.
Background
I currently work as a Hydrographer and Geospatial Data Analyst for an engineering firm based in Portland, Oregon. I have been in the geospatial sciences field for 15 years and have a bachelors degree in Geomatics from the University of Florida.
