This page is a sincere appreciation of Frank Romo and RomoGIS—their mission to democratize geospatial insight, empower neighborhoods, and translate data into action. I’ve been directly inspired by their initiative and want to work shoulder‑to‑shoulder to amplify it: blending careful analysis with human stories, local knowledge, and accessible tools.
RomoGIS is committed to making GIS understandable, actionable, and inclusive. They translate complex spatial patterns into practical choices—funding priorities, zoning conversations, transit equity, housing justice, environmental health, and more. It’s not “tech for tech’s sake.” It’s a practice of listening, learning, and building tools that work for the public good.
What I admire most is the union of art and analysis: maps that tell stories, stories that invite neighbors in, and neighbors whose participation improves the data itself. That reciprocity is rare, and it’s the gold standard for civic technology.
Identify pressure points and co‑design interventions that protect residents.
Show how transit and walkability shape opportunity—and advocate for equitable investments.
Visualize air, heat, and flood risks—and help communities secure resources to adapt.
Use maps to spark curiosity, teach data literacy, and support youth‑led storytelling.
RomoGIS pairs disciplined methods with humility and care. They co‑create with partners, credit community labor, and make the craft visible—so others can learn and build too.
Share code, methods, and lessons—so good work scales and travels.
Be precise about uncertainty and risk. Protect privacy. Respect consent.
Design for real users: screen readers, captions, language access, and clear, jargon‑free storytelling.
I want to contribute to RomoGIS as an ally and builder: develop accessible web maps, produce community‑ready content, and help scale workshops and toolkits. I’ll align with your standards and handle the plumbing—file hygiene, version control, accessibility, and production hardening—so the focus stays on impact.
Fast, inclusive, bilingual pages for projects—complete with captions, transcripts, and TTS.
Short films, photo essays, and social assets that honor local narratives and invite participation.
Facilitation slides, prompts, and templates tailored to your pedagogy and partners.
Take on production load with clean workflows and repeatable patterns that reflect your brand.
Package your work so partners, funders, and residents can engage quickly and deeply.
Transparent, shared notes that make onboarding and handoff painless.
Deep appreciation to the organizers, educators, and residents who make this work real. Add shout‑outs here—names, collectives, and local leaders—and link to their projects or galleries.
For anchoring priorities and building trust across differences.
For curiosity, courage, and a future that belongs to them.
For opening doors to resources, accountability, and sustained support.
I’d love to discuss a collaboration—from content builds to workshop tooling and map microsites. I’ll match your standards, protect community dignity, and keep delivery fast and clean.
