Enthousiastic mapper around Bruges. Doesn’t like to cycle over sett stones.
Creator of https://MapComplete.org (with help of others). Every now and then, I do have projects which involve some paid work, this is indicated on the changesets for this.
I import buildings with osm.wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Building_and_address_import from time to time
I’m involved in using OpenStreetMap in secondary schools. More information here
