How GIS layers stack

Multi-dimensional spatial data from base terrain to intelligent point features.

z: 3 POI & Points
z: 2 Terrain / DEM
z: 1 Raster / Imagery
z: 0 Vector / Polygons

4D data across space & time

Every GIS project I build orchestrates multiple data layers — vector geometries, raster imagery, elevation models, and dynamic point features — all indexed spatially and temporally for 4D analysis.

POI & Feature Points — PostGIS geometries with temporal indexing
Terrain / DEM — Elevation models for 3D surface analysis
Raster Imagery — Satellite & aerial tile layers (COG, WMS)
Vector Polygons — Administrative boundaries & road networks

How spatial data flows

End-to-end geospatial data pipeline — from raw source ingestion to real-time serving.
