What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in GIS and surveying while offering opportunities for professional growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated GIS Developer and Geospatial Specialist with extensive experience in geospatial data analysis, surveying, and software development. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Geodetic Engineering from the University of the Philippines, where I honed my skills in GIS technologies and spatial data management. Over the years, I have worked with various organizations, including Samsung Electronics and Jones Lang Lasalle, where I developed innovative solutions for spatially dependent needs and conducted in-depth market research.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed numerous surveying projects, utilizing advanced tools such as GNSS/RTK and CAD software to deliver precise and accurate data. My role as a Senior Science Research Specialist allowed me to develop methodologies for processing LiDAR data and create agricultural resource maps, showcasing my ability to blend technical expertise with practical applications. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to impactful projects and continuously seek opportunities for professional growth in a challenging environment.
