For International Sudoku Day I built Mapdoku, a simple demo app that mixes numbers with the ArcGIS Static Basemap Tiles service.

What do you get after 20+ talks, 3 continents, lots of maps, and even more demos?

I recently had a fantastic experience at @kcdc.bsky.social!

My talk had great audience participation, and I also took part in the Taskmaster event and co-won, which was a fun bonus to an already memorable week.

Thanks to the organizers and everyone I met!

As a former teacher, I appreciate seeing my ATO talk on AI + gamification featured by The Apereo Foundation for its focus on student engagement.

I love that dev rel still lets me share the topics I love. Can't wait for @allthingsopen.bsky.social in October!

A map with good fat and even better style. 🗺️ Happy Avocado Day! 🥑

I used the ArcGIS Vector Tile Style Editor to quickly create this avocado-inspired basemap, because even maps deserve a little flavor. ☺️

Want to use #ArcGIS in your JavaScript app without heavy SDKs?

Come check out my 20-minute Expo Spotlight, "Using Esri’s ArcGIS REST JS," and see how easy it is to connect to ArcGIS services from any JS app, in the browser or in Node. 🧑‍💻
