My name is Dante Volpe. I am an aspiring transportation engineer, having recently completed my graduate education in engineering management and starting work as a traffic EIT. I have been mapping with OpenStreetMap since 2019. I believe open-source platforms are the future, creating digital infrastructure powered by passion over profits. Being able to share data from local surveys with the general public in an accessible, organized, and well-attributed manner brings me great satisfaction.
