About Me
I am a GIS Analyst based in Munich with experience in spatial analysis, cartography, accessibility and mobility studies. I currently work at Plan4Better GmbH, where I support mobility and planning projects using network-based indicators, isochrones, catchments and geospatial data pipelines. My technical work focuses on QGIS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GDAL/OGR and Python-based geoprocessing using GeoPandas, Pandas and Shapely. I am also completing an MSc in Transport Engineering and Mobility at RWTH Aachen University, with a focus on mobility and accessibility analysis.
