GIS Specialist focused on clean mapping, digitizing, and practical spatial data work. I help clients turn messy or raw spatial data into structured, accurate, ready-to-use GIS outputs. Whether you need digitizing, georeferencing, data cleaning, or simple spatial analysis, I focus on precision, clarity, and professional results. I work independently and directly with clients. You explain what you need, I confirm scope, timeline, and deliverables. Clear communication. No confusion. What I Do VECTOR WORK ▶️Digitizing from PDFs, scanned plans, CAD drawings, or satellite imagery ▶️Georeferencing maps ▶️Parcel and cadastral editing ▶️Attribute table cleaning and restructuring ▶️Format conversion (SHP, KML, GeoJSON, DXF, CSV) ▶️Geoprocessing (buffer, clip, merge, dissolve, intersect, spatial joins, centroid calculation) ▶️Topology error fixing ▶️Coordinate system corrections and reprojection RASTER WORK ▶️Raster clipping and masking ▶️Mosaicking ▶️Reprojection ▶️Band combinations ▶️Basic index calculations (e.g., NDVI) ▶️Raster alignment and cleanup Tools I Use ArcGIS Pro ArcMap QGIS GNSS survey data integration Clean geodatabase structuring If your shapefile is disorganized, I will clean it.

Hi! I'm Arthur. Maps not only have the power to convey geographical information but to also evoke emotions and tell compelling narratives. My proficiency in cartographic design allows me to create visually stunning and informative maps that cater to a wide range of industries and purposes. Whether it's designing custom maps for publications, creating interactive maps for websites, or developing thematic maps for presentations, I excel in translating complex data into visually engaging and easy-to-understand visual representations. With a deep understanding of cartographic principles such as scale, projection, and symbolization, I ensure that every map I create is not only aesthetically pleasing but also accurate and informative. By leveraging the latest mapping software and design tools, I bring a modern and dynamic approach to traditional cartography, pushing the boundaries of map design to deliver impactful and memorable visual experiences. From topographic maps to data visualization and everything in between, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality, customized map solutions that meet the unique needs of each project. Let me help you navigate the world through the art of cartography and bring your maps to life with creativity, precision, and flair. Regards!
