# about

I'm a graduate student at the University of Arizona studying Open Source GIS (GIST 604B). My work spans the full spectrum of spatial data workflows — from desktop GIS and database engineering to scripting, remote sensing, and web mapping.

I'm particularly interested in combining open source tools to build reproducible, scalable geospatial pipelines. This portfolio showcases the skills and projects I've developed throughout the course.
