geospatial data science consultant


visiting lecturer at paris dauphine université - master peace studies

I’m passionate about how the techniques and discourses from territory focused disciplines can be re-appropriated through the use of information systems and data science.

I do freelance work on geospatial projects, having an extensive experience working with spatial analysis and cartography for humanitarian institutions like the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, World Resources Institute, Translators Without Borders, UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank. In past positions I've developed solutions for automating processes involving remote sensing and spatial analysis in humanitarian crises contexts through the use of GIS software and programming with python and javascript using frameworks like google earth engine, geopandas, postgis/geoserver and arcgis online.

I've collaborated in environmental and spatial related research projects developed at TU-Delft, UNESCO-IHE, Oxford-Brookes University, McGill University, Ecole d'Urbanisme de Paris and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul on the subjects of Geodesign for Nature Based Solutions, Urban Metabolism, Circular Economy, Scaling Laws and Road Ecology. I'm a teacher to the "Data, conflicts and disasters" discipline at Paris Dauphine University.
