(01) — About

Bridging the gap between environmental science and modern web development. I build accessible tools for spatial analysis, GIS visualization and ecological storytelling.

(02) — Selected work

SolarScout

Automated site assessment tool

Full-stack geospatial application for identifying optimal solar farm locations from OpenStreetMap data. Automated land-use analysis, dynamic exclusion-zone filtering and proximity scoring for grid infrastructure — powered by an ETL pipeline that turns raw OSM extracts into analysis-ready PostGIS geometries.

  • Docker

PeatWatch

Remote sensing dashboard

Web-based GIS platform monitoring peatland restoration through satellite imagery. Interactive time-series analysis of ecological indices (NDVI / NDMI) derived from Sentinel-2 data, with a comparative visualization mode and automated trend analysis per restoration site.

Web Developer

Conversion Champions

Building websites from Adobe XD designs with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery and PHP, with a strong focus on responsiveness and accessibility. I maintain and extend video database systems, implement A/B tests via Google Tag Manager and Analytics to improve engagement and conversion, and continuously optimize performance.
