Welcome!
My name is Matt Forrest and welcome to my publication “Modern GIS with Matt Forrest”. During the day I work at CARTO doing technical product marketing and working on geospatial analysis, data engineering, and more. When writing, I focus on topics about the geospatial industry around technology, organizations, news, and more (with an occasional post about the NBA and other topics). I share other content on LinkedIn and YouTube in addition to this newsletter.
How it works
If you are new to Substack, you can become a subscriber by hitting the button above and all posts will be sent to you over email. Every Saturday I publish my weekly newsletter Spatial on Saturdays which focuses on various topics in geospatial that are generally happening currently. I also go deeper into the trends driving them, technologies, and companies innovating in those spaces.
I also open periodic chats to all subscribers to discuss specific topics and ask me anything threads.
