MY APPROACH
From raw data to a clear picture.
A connected workflow.
Select a step to explore.
Step 01 / 04
Start with the right data.
Bring together open geodata, public transport timetables and population datasets.
OpenStreetMap · GTFS · Zensus
Step 02 / 04
Make the data work together.
Clean geometries, join spatial datasets and build reproducible processing pipelines.
PostGIS · Python · GDAL
Step 03 / 04
Ask better spatial questions.
Calculate travel times, compare accessibility and identify gaps in local services.

WHAT I BRING
A spatial perspective.
An analytical foundation.
Spatial analysis
Accessibility, walkability and network-based indicators for mobility and urban planning.
SQL, geodata & automation
Spatial SQL queries, data preparation and reproducible pipelines with PostGIS, Python and GDAL.
My QGIS plugins →Cartography & visualisation
Thematic maps, considered map design and interactive dashboards that communicate spatial findings clearly.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Connecting data with the places we live.
Based in Munich, I work at Plan4Better on GIS analysis for mobility and planning projects. I completed my MSc in Transport Engineering and Mobility at RWTH Aachen in July 2026.
