David Zwarg knitting.
If you have ever visited Azavea’s office and seen a programmer bolting a phone to the ceiling, creating sculptures out of old business cards and unwound network cable, knitting on the couch or filming epic Tupperware battles, you’ve witnessed a David Zwarg moment.
After graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2000 with a BS in Imaging and Photographic Technology David worked for the CIA integrating remote sensing with 3-D visualizations. In 2002 David moved to California where he worked for a Biotech company as an Instrumentation Engineer doing algorithm development and device control.
At Azavea David has been instrumental in the development of several Azavea projects including Kaleidocade Indicators Framework (KIF) (a web-based software that displays maps, charts, tables, statistics, and reports for aggregated, geographic indicators), The City of Philadelphia’s Zoning Overlay project, the company ‘wiki,’ PHA Arrest Notification, and he works with Bernard, one of our Drexel Co-op students, on the Esphero Global Geocoder and the Azavea.com website.
Outside of Azavea, David is an electronics hobbyist and amateur photographer. His curiosity often leads him to emerging technologies like GPS and SMS messaging, and playfully merging them on the internet as blogging tools or Independent Media.
