Value Proposition

My work is at the intersection of corporate technical excellence and measurable social impact.

I design infrastructures that not only optimize costs and performance (B2B), but also facilitate the democratization of information and environmental monitoring (NGO/B2C). Through GIS and Open Source, I turn raw data into tools for change.
