About Me

I am a GIS professional with a Master of Science in Smart and Sustainable Cities from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, specializing in urban spatial analysis, land-use dynamics, and mobility systems. My work focuses on using geospatial tools to better understand how cities function and how data-driven analysis can support equitable and sustainable urban development.

During my graduate studies and professional experience, I have applied GIS methodologies to analyze land-use change, pedestrian mobility, and urban redevelopment initiatives. My master’s thesis examined pedestrian mobility patterns in Detroit in the context of the I-375 Reconnecting Communities Project, integrating mobility datasets, land-use data, and spatial network analysis to produce analytical cartography supporting urban planning strategies.

As a GIS intern with Observatorio para una Cultura del Territorio in Madrid, I conducted daily spatial analysis of urban land-use data, interpreted aerial orthophotography to identify temporal changes, and contributed to a large-scale mapping project examining urban land dynamics. I also co-authored a research article on land-use mapping using orthophotos.

With an academic background in political science and urban studies, I approach GIS not only as a technical tool but as a framework for understanding policy, governance, and social impact in urban environments. My experience working in both the United States and Spain has given me an international perspective on urban development and planning systems. I am particularly interested in applying GIS to sustainable urban development, mobility planning, and land-use policy analysis.
