Tools for Small Businesses

Ribbon (https://getribbon.ai) is on a mission to make business simple for Canadian entrepreneurs. As part of our marketing efforts we create material that we put in a resources section of our website (https://resources.getribbon.ai). We are expanding into a tax offering and want to add tools/calculators that Canadian entrepreneurs can use to make their lives easier. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Research and understanding a specific common question. Likely this will involve reading a lot of reddit posts. Digging into government regulations. Creating a couple options of what the design/functionality could look like. Implementing a tool/calculator in a single page React App.

Software Development: Raster Image to tileset for Mapbox

We have an interactive resort ski map where guests can explore digitally. We would like to streamline the creation of new maps at new resorts. Typically a resort will have a 2D and and 3D map. The 2D map starts with an image provided by the resort. This image is tiled with external tools so it may used as a Raster Layer on Mapbox. -- See 2D map on demo product: https://app.steepdeep.ski/?mapId=back_side. Notice as we zoom into the photo we do not loose quality of the image. This is because this image is tiled and placed over top the world. We would like to streamline this process. Your goal, using local development is to create a Python program that takes an image as input and the returns the tileset of the image without distorting the image. This task may prove to be difficult since we are projecting across the Mercator projection. The program you will create will be in Python since there are several resources to perform such operations as GDAL.
