Biography

thank you for visiting my portfolio

I am a Data & GIS Analyst with an engineering background and over a decade of experience working with environmental, spatial, and infrastructure-related data.
 
I specialize in turning complex datasets into clear, decision-ready insights that support planning, monitoring, and operational improvement.
 
My work combines GIS, data analytics, and reporting to bridge the gap between technical data and real-world decision-making.
 
I have experience working in public sector and infrastructure environments, where data quality, traceability, and structured reporting are essential.
 
I focus on delivering practical, actionable insights — not just dashboards.

projects

These selected portfolio projects demonstrates my approach to business analysis, data modeling, and performance-driven decision-making.
 
Each case focuses on the business problem, analytical approach, and practical impact — not just the technical implementation.
 
Across projects, I follow a consistent methodology:

• Define the business objective  
• Structure and model the data  
• Design meaningful performance metrics  
• Translate insights into actionable decisions  
 
The goal is always the same: turning complex data into clear, decision-ready insights.
