I am a former US Army Imagery Analyst so making maps from satellite view is sorta my thing. I now do it for fun to pass the time, I am a big Chicago area maper. Trying to map anything and everything. I have worked on many projects here on OSM simplifying the tagging process and organising the wiki to make mapping on OSM simple,easy,and fun to do. Some major renovation I contributed to the wiki include the Tag proposal process Giving clear guidance and organization. I have also worked on the proposals themselves including the highway=service tags. I also worked on Mapping projects starting with North America creating the country select menu's and tab system on WikiProject United States. Also made major contributions to the coordinating of the US highway system tagging, using relations, and US/state/county/bike-trails. More recent projects I have worked on are micro mapping of certain areas including:
