🌍 Geo-Data Scientist 💻 Python Dev 📍 Location-Based Solutions

🌎 Passionate about the intersection of Data, Technology, and Geography

Solving complex geospatial and data challenges with innovative, cross-disciplinary solutions.

💡 What I Do:

• Build custom GIS and geospatial tools: QGIS plugins, web mapping (MapLibre, Leaflet, Vector Tiles, Geoserver), and spatial analysis (GeoPandas, Shapely, NetworkX, ESRI suite, GDAL).
• Develop data pipelines and interactive dashboards/web apps using Python (Pandas, Dash, Flask).
• Prototype and deploy Python-based solutions: APIs, simulations, PyQt, Dockers, Command line, Automation, Postgres integration.

🚀 Current Focus (2025-):

• Advancing core programming skills (algorithms, multithreading, data structures).
• Growing as a Data Scientist: ML models, statistics, evaluation metrics.
• Expanding into Web & Cloud Development (React, AWS, DevOps practices).

Example Projects:

PyQT apps and QGIS Plugins

Select lines by drawing This plugin enables users to draw a line on the map canvas, and it automatically selects all feature lines that intersect with the drawn line, and removes from the selection lines that do not intersect with the other drawn lines.

Filter by Selection is a QGIS plugin designed to enhance spatial analysis by allowing users to quickly filter one layer based on the selected feature and attribute from another layer, or a spreadsheet table.

QGIS 3D Arcs

This tool transforms 2D lines into 3D arcs, similar to Deck.gl’s 3D arc layer or kepler.gl 3D arcs. The 3D data is embedded directly in the feature’s geometry, allowing users to visualize the arcs in QGIS 3D.

The simulation tool, operated through scripts, predicts how redevelopment scenarios will impact household demographics over time.
