GIS & Data Analyst | Energy, Infrastructure & Spatial Data

A GIS & Data Analyst specializing in geospatial data, energy & infrastructure, data cleaning, analysis, and visualization. My GIS experience includes large-scale utility and renewable-energy workflows across multiple U.S. markets, including 4,000+ substations mapped, distribution and transmission infrastructure mapping, parcel research, site screening, spatial analysis, and GIS QA/QC. I’m also expanding my expertise in Data Analytics, combining my GIS background with Python, SQL, Excel, Power BI, Pandas, and data visualization to work with both spatial and non-spatial datasets. WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH GIS & GEOSPATIAL • Utility & infrastructure mapping • Substation and transmission/distribution mapping • Renewable-energy site screening • Spatial analysis & site suitability • KML/KMZ, Shapefile & GIS data processing • Parcel and land research • GIS QA/QC and validation DATA ANALYTICS • Data cleaning & transformation • Exploratory data analysis • Excel analysis & reporting • SQL querying • Python / Pandas analysis • Power BI dashboards & visualization • Combining spatial and tabular datasets • Turning raw datasets into clear, actionable insights WHY WORK WITH ME? Many projects don't fit neatly into "GIS" or "Data Analytics." You may have spatial data, spreadsheets, databases, and research information that all need to be cleaned, analyzed, connected, and presented. That's where I can add value. I bring a GIS-first perspective to spatial data while building broader analytical capabilities for working with structured business and operational data. I’m comfortable working independently from defined requirements, integrating into existing workflows, and delivering clean, structured, quality-controlled results. If your project involves GIS, data, or both — let's talk.
