I recently graduated from the Research Master in Spatial Sciences at the University of Groningen, specializing in cultural geography with a focus on ethnology, anthropology, and education sciences. My research explores spatial patterns of minority populations, educational outcomes, and socioeconomic disparities.

Additionally, I have nearly five years of professional web development experience. I create interactive platforms that make complex spatial data accessible and engaging. I specialize in building data-driven applications, ecommerce websites, and research visualization tools using modern technologies.
