🌍 Welcome to Alper Dincer’s Blog

I’m Alper Dincer — a UK-based climate-tech entrepreneur, geospatial innovator, and founder building products at the intersection of drought intelligence, Earth observation, and spatial data infrastructure.

My work focuses on turning complex environmental and geospatial data into practical, scalable platforms that help people better understand drought, climate risk, and place-based decision-making. I am the creator of Global Drought Map, the founder behind Drought.UK, and CTO & Co-Founder of Climingo.

Before building these ventures, I worked on drought early warning, geospatial intelligence, and environmental decision-support systems across international and national contexts, including work connected to UNICEF Somalia, UNDP Madagascar, and Turkey’s national drought monitoring efforts. Those experiences shaped my belief that climate-tech needs not only better data, but better products.

Through this blog, I write about modern geospatial and climate-tech infrastructure — including H3, DuckDB, PostGIS, cloud-native spatial formats, browser-based analytics, and serverless architecture — but always through the lens of product thinking, usability, and venture building.

This is a space where I share ideas, experiments, and reflections on building climate-tech platforms for a world that increasingly needs better environmental intelligence, stronger spatial tools, and more decision-ready products.
