Raúl Jiménez Ortega

Principal Product Engineer (Developer Relations) at Esri. I work where geospatial technology, developer communities, and open knowledge meet.

I like building useful things, connecting people who can help each other, and sharing what I learn along the way.

Community journey

I started helping people in IRC and hacking forums, later joined the Free Software Office, helped launch one of the first GDGs in Spain, and kept creating collaborative spaces around open culture. Today I am helping grow Community Builders, a meta-community of community leaders.
