I’m a software developer and historian living by Ireland’s Clew Bay, drawn to maps as gateways to forgotten sites, untold stories, and lost communities. What began as a personal fascination grew into Geo Nua — where we turn spatial data into maps, dashboards, and online systems.
We’d love to hear from you — whether it’s a map idea, a collaboration, or just a question about our work. You can reach us at geonua.info@gmail.com. We usually respond within 24 hours.
