Education
BA Geography (Geocomputation & Spatial Analysis)
King's College London
I have a first class BA in Geography (Geocomputation & Spatial Analysis) at King’s College London - I focused on the geocomputation pathway, GIS and urban geography. My dissertation presented a machine learning model to predict community car dependency based on millions of origin-to-destination commute journeys. My modules included histories & geographies of climate change, applied geocomputation & spatial analysis and advanced issues in natural & environmental hazards.
MSc Spatial Data Science & Visualization
University College London
I passed my MSc in Spatial Data Science and Visualization at University College London’s Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) with merit. I focused on digital web map visualizations, data science for spatial systems and spatiotemporal data mining. My thesis presented a space-time algorithm for clustering and indexing group movement patterns from movement datasets. My modules included data science for spatial systems, web & mobile GIS development, quantitative methods, programming, digital visualizations and geographic information system & science.
Experience
Intern at Vantagist AB
Stockholm
I worked in Stockholm as an intern at Vantagist - an analytics company who provide efficient analysis and visualization tools for large motion datasets. I was responsible for optimizing geo-computational methods for efficiently rendering heatmaps for huge datasets.
RBC Amplify Data Scientist
London & Toronto
I was accepted to the RBC Amplify program which sets teams of interns organizational challenges to be overcome by technology. My team was responsible for developing RBC Ark - a machine learning tool to match client information in disparate databases. Our team flew to Toronto to pitch this technology to the CTO and other C-suite executives, we signed a provisional patent for this technology and received the most disruptive prize in the competition.
Geospatial Software Engineer
Toronto
I moved to Toronto to join the Royal Bank of Canada Data & Analytics Location Intelligence team as a geospatial software engineer. I co-authored a provisional patent for a novel system and methodology for processing multidimensional time series data. I worked on the mission-critical payment engine for resolving millions of dollars daily for the SWIFT payment network, the Location Intelligence Visualization Engine for sharing interactive web maps across the organization, and the occurrent database for advanced space-time operators to process huge space-time datasets.
