GIS Specialist who developed renewable energy site suitability analyses and automated GIS workflows at Energiequelle GmbH.

United States
Message

At Energiequelle GmbH, I developed GIS standards, data structures, and workflows supporting operations across five countries. I also conducted site suitability analyses for renewable energy projects and automated repetitive processes using ArcGIS Pro, ModelBuilder, and Python.

As the sole GIS specialist establishing Energiequelle’s South African GIS infrastructure, I developed its data structures, processes, workflows, and tools, and served as the primary GIS contact from Germany.

At Landesamt GeoInformation Bremen, I coordinated development of a nationwide government GIS information system and its transition from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. I maintained central geospatial datasets, performed quality checks, and securely processed data using GnuPG encryption.

Earlier, as a Student Assistant at BauBeCon Stadtentwicklung GmbH, I conducted spatial research and analysis for regional and urban development planning. I created thematic maps and planning materials to communicate geospatial findings.
