GIS Professional

I’m a GIS professional with roots in HR analytics and project management — and a deliberate move into geospatial work.
I use ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, and ArcGIS Online to turn spatial data into maps, dashboards, and insights that support decisions. My background spans large-dataset analysis, Agile delivery, and communicating findings to non-technical audiences.
This site is where I document what I build and learn.
Based in Toronto.

What I bring

GIS & Spatial Analysis

ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, ArcGIS Online. Geocoding, watershed modeling, raster classification, field data collection with Survey123 and Field Maps.

Data at Scale

Built compensation models and dashboards on datasets of 300K+ records. Comfortable with messy data, validation, and turning numbers into decisions.

Project Delivery

PMP-certified. Led annual budgeting cycles, Agile ceremonies, and cross-functional dashboard builds from requirements to rollout.

Stakeholder Communication

Years of presenting analysis to senior leaders. I design maps and reports for the person reading them, not just the person making them.

Problem-Solving & Curiosity

I ask why before I build. Most of my best work started with noticing a gap in the data or a question no one had bothered to answer yet.

Adaptability

Three countries, four industries, two career pivots. I learn new tools and contexts quickly because I've had to.

Collaboration Across Languages & Cultures

Worked in English, Ukrainian, and Russian across distributed teams. Comfortable bridging technical and non-technical audiences — and cultures.

Ownership

I finish what I start. The portfolio on this site exists because I set a transition goal and worked it while holding a full-time job.
