Michael L.
Data Operations & Data Quality Specialist | Research & GIS
I help teams keep operational data accurate, organized, and ready to use. My core strength is managing recurring data workflows: maintaining records, resolving inconsistencies, checking quality, and coordinating updates across tools and teams. My experience includes a long-term data-management engagement of more than three years outside GIS, alongside substantial GIS, research, and data-quality work. I’m Top Rated on Upwork with a 100% Job Success score, more than $90K earned, and experience across 15 Upwork jobs. I can support your team with: • Data operations: maintaining platform, listing, spreadsheet, and database records • Data quality: cleaning, validating, standardizing, reconciling, and checking datasets • Research: collecting and verifying information for structured datasets • GIS and location data: QGIS, ArcGIS, geocoding, mapping, and spatial-data QA • Workflow support: maintaining trackers, documenting processes, and coordinating data updates across systems • Document extraction: OCR and structured extraction from text and image-based sources I work with Excel, Google Sheets, Python, SQL, QGIS, and ArcGIS, and can adapt to the platforms and workflows your team already uses. I’m prioritizing ongoing hourly work, while also taking on well-scoped projects that match these skills. I can coordinate with U.S. Eastern working hours. Share the recurring tasks, expected weekly hours, and required output, and I’ll confirm the fit.
