Opencage Data

Prior to OpenCage, Ed was co-founder of Lokku, the company that OpenCage spun out of (see below for our story). He started his career in the early days of the internet as the first developer at yahoo.de. He has an MBA from MIT, a degree in engineering from Duke University, and was a Fulbright Scholar in Weimar, Germany. Ed lives in Barcelona, where for fun he maps Sarrià/Tres Torres. Marc Tobias is based in Münster, Germany. Before OpenCage he was the first employee at Lokku, before that he worked at Yahoo! in Silicon Valley and Munich. Prior to that he was one of the earliest members of the technical team at amazon.de. When not on the keyboard you can usually find him on a bike in the woods. Where does the name OpenCage come from? Open data is amazing but sometimes it's also wrapped up in a metaphorical technical cage that you need to be a bit of an expert to unlock. We're doing our best to open up that metaphorical cage for you by making a very simple to use geocoder. If you have suggestions about how we can make it even simpler please let us know. Learn more
