We are a diverse group of people with multifaceted skills, based in Ayacucho, Peru, specializing in the generation of various types of data and the development of tools. Our experience, grounded in practice and reinforced by more than 10 years in the field, has led us to collaborate with large organizations such as the World Bank, UNICEF, Mapbox, Development Seed, and others. We focus on providing geographic data and datasets for the training of Machine Learning models, always ensuring the highest quality and precision in our work.
Our history traces back to 2012 when Ian Ward and Ruben L. Mendoza began updating OpenStreetMap for Mapbox products. Subsequently, a group of mappers joined the journey, enhancing OpenStreetMap globally and striving to make Ayacucho, Peru, one of the best-mapped cities on OpenStreetMap. This endeavor marked the inception of a significant alliance and an adventure in the world of mapping. During this period, we expanded our mapping team significantly and gained substantial experience in mapping, utilizing geographic data, and processing geospatial information.
In 2018, we embarked on a journey with a strong focus on Machine Learning, software development, and Cloud technologies. In collaboration with Development Seed , we undertook significant Machine Learning projects including Project-Connect , High Voltage Electricity , Housing Passport , and others. The geospatial expertise we accumulated over the years proved crucial for our success in generating Machine Learning data within the geographical domain.
Currently, Geocompas comprises a team of experts in training data generation for Machine Learning, data processing, and software development. All this expertise is leveraged to contribute to a better world through data.
