Who am I?

Tomás Quiñones
(toh-mahs key-nyo-nes)

Residing in Portland, Oregon: I make art, go on cycling adventures, and just generally love travel.

I write about my bicycle trips over at my other blog Adventuring.Bike

Currently Working:

Quality Assurance Engineer at RidewithGPS.com.

I've been working at RWGPS since 2014. I started as a Customer Service rep then quickly started taking care of a lot of other tasks like simple product photography, shipping, writing help articles, recording training videos for our users, feature advocacy, custom large format maps for printing, readying material for print, and for the last few years I've been focusing on Quality Assurance for the mobile and web teams.

Programming Projects

  • Chess Capture Map: Using my games on Lichess.org, I wanted to see the squares where captures are most frequented. It was a good learning experience for combining Python and using the Plotly graphing library.
  • Ride Density Map: Before ridewithgps.com had its heatmaps, I wanted to create my own using Python.
  • Adventuring.world: Using Mapbox to show different places I have been and where I really want to go in the next few years. It was too good of a domain name to pass up.
