Work
Mapbox × Uber: deck.gl & kepler.gl Partnership
The OSS partnership that integrated Mapbox with the deck.gl and kepler.gl visualization ecosystem.
The goal
Uber's deck.gl and kepler.gl were expanding how developers visualized map data at scale. Mapbox needed an integration that worked with their rendering model, not just an adjacent SDK.
What shipped
I led the OSS partnership with Uber that integrated Mapbox GL JS custom layers directly into deck.gl and kepler.gl. The work connected the rendering layers so developers could use Mapbox maps with both projects.
What I learned
Deep integration reduced the work developers needed to combine the projects.
