I am a GIS Specialist with 15+ years of professional experience in geospatial data creation, processing, cleaning, analysis, and visualization.
My main focus is helping clients turn raw spatial data into accurate, well-structured, and useful maps, datasets, and analytical outputs.
I can help with:
• Creating, editing, cleaning, and validating geospatial data
• Spatial analysis and geoprocessing in QGIS, ArcGIS, and PostGIS
• Working with OpenStreetMap, custom datasets, satellite imagery, and DEM data
• Geocoding, address validation, and location-based analysis
• Data conversion between Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML/KMZ, GeoPackage, CSV, and other GIS formats
• Georeferencing historical maps, plans, drawings, and scanned documents
• Digitizing features and creating clean polygon, line, and point datasets
• Preparing spatial data for web maps and online platforms
• Creating simple interactive web maps using Mapbox, Leaflet, and related tools
• Building custom Mapbox styles and clear map visualizations
• Automating repetitive GIS tasks with Python scripts, including AI-assisted scripting when useful
• Data quality control, topology checks, and final dataset preparation
I pay close attention to data accuracy, clean structure, topology, attributes, and visual presentation. My goal is to deliver GIS results that are not only technically correct but also easy to understand and ready to use.
If you need reliable help with GIS data, spatial analysis, geocoding, map creation, data cleaning, or web mapping, I would be glad to support your project.

🌍 GIS Developer | 15+ Years Building Geospatial Systems that Reduce Costs and Scale Operations. Most businesses collect location data but don't fully leverage it. I build geospatial solutions that turn location data into smarter decisions, streamlined operations, and measurable business results:
- 🗺️ Interactive web maps and GIS dashboards
- 🧭 Route optimization and fleet management systems
- 🛰️ Real-time asset tracking and monitoring platforms
- 📊 Spatial analysis and decision-support solutions
💡 I don’t just write code. I focus on solving business problems by leveraging geospatial data to drive smarter decisions, reduce costs, and scale operations.
🚀 Track record:
✔ 15+ years in GIS & full-stack development
✔ 13,700+ hours worked
✔ 120+ milestones completed
✔ 90+ successful projects
✔ 55+ satisfied clients
🏆 Key achievements:
✔ Developed a Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) platform with GIS features that helped the client win contracts and grow revenue by more than 30 times
✔ Built a GIS tool that reduced the duration of the land property development potential assessment by more than 1000 times (from days to seconds).
✔ Developed a service for automatic scheduling and routing shared rides, which increased the fleet capacity by more than 20%.
These are examples of how GIS can create a measurable business impact.

🤝 How I work
Every project starts with understanding your business processes and goals. This allows me to design a solution that solves the actual problem.
My development process is iterative and usually consists of the following stages:
- Discovery: Analysis and specification of your business needs, project goals, data, and requirements; UI/UX design; high-level architecture design; cost estimation; and development planning
- Implementation
- Testing
- Delivery
After each iteration (typically 1–2 weeks), I provide a demo of completed features and incorporate your feedback. This approach reduces risks, improves transparency, and ensures we stay aligned with your goals.
To improve quality, accelerate development, and reduce costs, I often involve other specialists from our team, such as a Business Analyst, a QA Engineer, a DevOps Engineer, and a Data Analyst. I also use AI tools to accelerate writing code.
