Hello from Bowen Island, BC! For many years I was exclusively a birder but life is too short to be a 1% naturalist. Now I log everything I see.

I'm a software developer by trade, so I combine this with my interest in nature. A few of my contributions:

Recently I added the drawing controls (circle, rectangle) to the iNat map.
A script to visualize any iNat taxon data on external websites, e.g. the BC Lepidopterist's Guild site,
Script to create a list of species from an observation list, allowing you to create a custom, curated list from experts rather than rely on the "research grade" standard:
A website to view the totality of birds being spotted currently in a region. Date from eBird.
Tool to generate checklists from raw spreadsheet data for Biodiversity Galiano.

These are all free and open source, so ping me if you need a hand with any of them, or if you think there's something I could help you with.
