Three languages

Apps, geospatial data and personal projects.

This is where I keep the things I’m working on. That includes Chefito, Mindex, maps, and research projects.

From my previous research position, done as a team with partner institutes. Not part of pinedapps.

Hi, I’m Diego.

I’m from Honduras and now based in Hannover. I work with geospatial data, coastal geomorphology, and modelling. I also build my own apps and software projects. They usually start with ideas I’d like to use myself.

When I’m away from the computer, it’s usually football, Hannover 96, rock music, video games, the gym, beaches, or simply spending time with friends.

Say hello

What I work on

Digital products

My own apps, from the first idea to release.

Maps and geospatial data

Analysing, modelling, and visualising spatial data.

Coastal geomorphology

How coasts and the Wadden Sea change over time.

Selected projects

Chefito app screens for meal, pantry, and grocery planning

chefito.de

Chefito

An app that brings pantry items, shopping, recipes, and meal planning together in one place.

Open website
Mindex app showing a visual map for links and notes

mindexapp.eu

Mindex

A visual map for links, notes, and files. It keeps things I want to save from getting lost in tabs or folders later.

Open website
Asymmetric Morphodynamics of the Wadden Sea project symbol

asymmetricwaddensea.de

Asymmetric Morphodynamics of the Wadden Sea

A companion website for our study on Wadden Sea morphodynamics. Maps, profiles, and interactive analyses show the spatial changes directly.

My projects

Chefito

An app for pantry items, shopping, recipes, and meal planning, so less gets forgotten or thrown away at home.

Mindex

A visual knowledge map for links, notes, and files I want to save and find again later.

Maps and geospatial data

I work professionally with spatial data, including bathymetry, terrain models, maps, analyses, and modelling inputs.

Three languages

German, English, and Spanish are a natural part of my projects.

Research and open data

Separately from pinedapps, I worked as a researcher with geospatial data and coastal geomorphology. Here you’ll find publications and open datasets that came out of that work, together with colleagues and partner institutes.
