The people behind Population Explorer.

Benjamin leads Population Explorer from Missoula, Montana. He has spent two decades building GIS and satellite data platforms in more than 25 countries and co-authoring peer-reviewed research on satellite-based targeting. His focus at PopEx is data usability: pinning down exactly what users need to know, then shaping the product so that insight lands.

Kyle co-founded Population Explorer and manages its projects, with a close eye on user experience. He built the commercial model and the process PopEx used to find product-market fit, then led the developer teams that built the PopEx API and this website. Along the way he has spoken with thousands of users, and their feedback still shapes the product.

Anton holds a Master of Science in Epidemiology from Johns Hopkins, was a senior data analyst at its Spatial Science for Public Health Center and has spent five years helping teach graduate courses in spatial statistics and GIS. At Population Explorer, he focuses on data processing: transforming datasets, writing analysis scripts and reviewing the math.

Frazer is a data scientist and quantitative analyst specializing in geospatial analytics and large-scale demographic modeling. At Population Explorer, he builds automated spatial data pipelines with Python, R and AI tools, turning datasets such as high-resolution population rasters into the figures users rely on, and checks the calculations behind them.

Muhammad is a geoinformatics engineer with more than 10 years of experience building geospatial applications and enterprise systems for industries ranging from oil and gas to logistics. At Population Explorer, he leads the GIS engineering team, coordinating development across the geospatial stack and helping scope new features and optimize the platform.

Daniel is a full-stack engineer who builds web applications, geospatial platforms and cloud systems using Python, Django, React, PostgreSQL/PostGIS and AWS, with hands-on experience designing REST APIs and tuning backend performance. At Population Explorer, he manages the platform’s architecture and production deployments, keeping development on track.
