Three days in the Darjeeling hills: a 3D map

Three days in the hills, from the plains at Bagdogra to the cloud forest at Senchal. Day 1 is live on a tilting 3D map, with the birds and people I met at each stop. Days 2 and 3 are coming soon.

About

A little about me.

I'm someone who likes making technology useful and understandable. Most of my days go into building software and helping teams do their best work.

I enjoy small, focused ideas: a tool that does one thing well, a page that explains something simply, a map that makes a trip easier to remember. Some of those turn into projects, and some stay as notes.

Away from the screen I travel, trying to understand nature a little better each time, and I write down what I notice.
