I help businesses transform geospatial data into actionable insights through GIS, spatial analysis, interactive mapping, and Python automation. My work includes: • Parcel and land analysis • Spatial relationship modeling • Drive-time / accessibility analysis • Interactive maps and dashboards • GIS workflow automation • Large-scale geospatial data processing Recently, I developed a GIS automation tool for large-scale parcel and road relationship analysis in Australia. The system supports identifying frontage roads, parcel orientation, corner lots, and multi-road adjacency through rule-based spatial analysis workflows. The solution was designed for practical use in real workflows, and packaged as a standalone application with batch processing and configurable parameters for non-technical users. Core expertise: * Spatial analysis and GIS data processing * Map-based analysis and parcel-level studies * Road-network and accessibility analysis * Python-based geospatial automation * Data preparation for mapping and reporting workflows Tools & technologies: Python, GeoPandas, QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, PostGIS, Pandas, Shapely, Jupyter Notebook I also have experience building more advanced spatial rule-based systems that bridge traditional GIS analysis with emerging geospatial intelligence workflows (GeoAI concepts), especially in structured spatial relationship modeling.
