About Me

Mapping the world,
one dataset at a time

I'm a versatile geospatial professional with a deep passion for using geographic information systems to reveal patterns hidden in spatial data. My journey spans from precision surveying in the field to building complex analytical workflows in GIS environments.

As a GIS Analyst, I specialize in harnessing geographic data to provide crucial insights for informed decision-making — whether that's urban planning, environmental monitoring, infrastructure assessment, or indoor facility mapping.

With my background in surveying, I bring a rigorous, measurement-first mindset to every project, ensuring data accuracy and spatial integrity from collection to delivery.
