IGN

Project management & web development

IGN is the French national geographic institute. It runs Géoportail, a web-based service and a French competitor to Google Maps, providing maps and geographical information.

For this project, I was in charge of managing one development team, as well as the communications and coordination between the client. I also contributed to the back-end and front-end development.
