Proficient in a wide array of web technologies, I excel in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript, along with modern frameworks like Vue.js and libraries such as Vuetify, Bootstrap, and Tailwind CSS. My expertise extends to integrating advanced mapping libraries such as ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript, and Leaflet, enabling me to design and build custom user interfaces. This skill set is pivotal in my research and development of innovative applications and tools for public use.


Python Programming

Python is my go-to language for an expansive range of applications – from modernizing GIS workflows to backend development, and from crafting compelling visualizations to server-side scripting. My expertise extends through Jupyter notebooks, Pandas, GeoPandas, to building robust open-source solutions and intuitive GUIs. Whether it's for spatial analysis, data manipulation, or any facet of data science, I harness Python's power to deliver innovative, efficient solutions.
