I'm Brad Stricherz

A Geospatial Software Developer

GeoBrad.dev - Geospatial Solutions for Social Impact

Building technology that matters. Since founding GeoBrad.dev in 2024, I've been dedicated to creating open-source geospatial platforms that empower nonprofits, researchers, and community organizers to solve real-world challenges through data.

With over 15 years of professional geospatial experience and advanced degrees in Spatial Data Science and International Relations, I bring enterprise-level expertise to mission-driven projects. My technical foundation includes React, Django, PostGIS, Leaflet, and CesiumJS—tools I use to transform complex spatial data into intuitive, accessible web applications.

What I build: Interactive mapping platforms, spatial analysis dashboards, automated data processing workflows, and reusable WebGIS templates. Every solution is designed with user experience at the forefront, because the most sophisticated analysis means nothing if people can't use it effectively.

Who I serve: Environmental organizations tracking pollution and climate impacts. Civic groups improving voter access and community engagement. Researchers analyzing infrastructure risks and urban planning challenges. Activists organizing around spatial justice issues. If your work involves geography, data, and positive change—we should talk.

My approach: Pro bono consulting that prioritizes long-term impact over short-term profit. Open-source solutions that organizations can maintain and expand. Training and support to ensure sustainable adoption of new technologies.

Let's collaborate. Have a spatial challenge that could benefit communities, advance research, or drive environmental progress? I'd love to explore how we can turn your vision into a powerful, user-friendly tool that creates lasting change.
