Hey there! I am Jack Rummler - a Florida born, Philadelphia residing lover of all things urban and spatial. I currently work as a policy and data analyst at the Defender Association of Philadelphia and a geospatial data contractor for the World Bank's Urban Resilience unit.
My interests lie in using spatial data and urban policy to build communities and spaces that are socially and ecologically resilient.
