What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my GIS expertise in impactful projects, fostering collaboration and innovation in environmental and spatial analysis.

I am an Environmental Engineer with over 10 years of experience in geospatial analysis and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). My expertise lies in thematic map validation, spatial modeling, and the development of cartographic products that support decision-making in both public and private sectors. I have successfully led projects for international agencies, including USAID, where I improved GIS capacities and developed training programs for various stakeholders.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to integrate statistical and geographic data, ensuring compliance with industry standards. My work has involved producing high-quality maps and conducting spatial pattern analysis to inform land-use planning and environmental assessments. I am currently pursuing further education in Big Data and Territorial Intelligence to enhance my skills and stay at the forefront of geospatial technology.
