Rheinbach Kommunale Wärmeplanung
Rheinbach · 2026GOAT dashboard for municipal heat planning in Rheinbach, NRW — building-level heat demand, gas dependency and heat pump suitability from LANUV open data.
GIS Analyst · Spatial Data & Mobility · Munich, Germany
Geodata processing, spatial analysis and reproducible GIS workflows.
I build accessibility and walkability analyses, process GTFS and open geodata, and produce network-based indicators and geoprocessing pipelines using QGIS, GOAT, PostGIS, Python and GDAL, translating complex spatial data into stakeholder-ready maps and reports for mobility and planning projects.

About
I am a GIS Analyst based in Munich with experience in spatial data processing, cartography, GTFS analysis, 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 spans QGIS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GDAL/OGR and Python-based geoprocessing (GeoPandas, Pandas, Shapely, Folium), including GTFS feed processing, API-based data collection, location-allocation modelling and reproducible spatial analysis workflows. I am also completing an MSc in Transport Engineering and Mobility at RWTH Aachen University.
