Message

At Shell, I lead geospatial delivery for shale and CCUS initiatives, bringing spatial data, advanced analytics, and decision support together across the Americas. I work with teams across subsurface, wells, data and digital, and innovation to address business needs.

As a Senior Geospatial Consultant at Shell, I delivered analytical solutions across 75+ projects, turning business questions into spatial workflows and decision products. I also developed GIS workflows and visualisation tools supporting EU CSRD reporting, including ESRS E4.

At Shell China, I led well-site screening and site selection using high-resolution imagery and multi-criteria geospatial analysis. I also developed non-technical risk maps to identify no-go areas for exploration and support portfolio evaluation.

My work spans geospatial data governance, quality assurance, and reusable analytics workflows. I use ESRI GIS, Python/ArcPy, SQL, ETL tools, and BI dashboards to make complex spatial data more usable for decisions.
