Hi! My name is Raluca and I'm a cartographer with an interest in 3D and data visualization. I currently work at Esri, a company specialized in software for analysis and visualization of geodata. Below is a selection of work projects from these past years. Besides geo and web things, I like to learn languages (human ones). On a sunny weekend, I'm probably somewhere in the mountains.
