Command the instrument, then question it.
I own the whole chain, from framing the question to shipping the browser-native tool a team can act on. I model the city, engineer the pipeline, and build the app that puts the argument in someone's hands, so the analysis does not die in a slide deck. The relation between nature and society sits at the centre, and a critical cartographic practice keeps the maps honest about what they leave out.
An environmental scientist by foundation, whose path runs through engineering and architecture into spatial science: three master's, two at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, in Science and Technology of Sustainability at the engineering school and Sustainable Intervention in the Built Environment at the school of architecture. Then Urban Spatial Science with Distinction at The Bartlett, UCL, ranked the world's number one for Architecture and the Built Environment (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026). Full-stack engineering learned by building. Now CTO-designate at CommunityAI, across government, industry, academia and civil society.

The Bartlett MSc and the Shaping Cool Cities urban-heat model, location intelligence at TJX Europe and SDSC London 2025, now CTO-designate at CommunityAI.
Station 5 of 5: London, 2021–present, Spatial data science and technology leadership.
Find where it happens, and where it is hidden. Location intelligence, maps, the honest coordinate: deciding what earns a place on the map and what gets left off it.
Ask what the map is doing and whom it serves. The politics folded into every graticule, and the projection that centres one worldview. Rigour aimed at the instrument, not only the terrain.
Build the system that makes it real and repeatable. Pipelines, tiles and deployed apps, production-grade spatial infrastructure. The critique earns its weight because the same hands ship the code.
Each sheet records the question, the decision I made, the evidence, and where the claim stops. Client-sensitive detail stays off the map.
2026–present
A privacy-safe community-intelligence layer for every neighbourhood in England, built on open data alone and engineered so each claim survives due diligence: clients join it to their own data, in their own environment, and never hand over a single person's record.

An urban-heat model fusing Landsat thermal imagery, 3D building morphology, street networks and street-level computer vision across six European cities at 30 metre resolution, from my Bartlett MSc thesis: the fusion resolves neighbourhood heat variation that no single source captures alone, and yields ranked, explainable cooling priorities.

An archived prototype that ran live urban analytics for anywhere on the planet entirely inside one browser tab, with no server in the loop, computed from open global data.
Founder and full-stack developer · Global urban data
2023–present
A walking instrument that makes the phone already in your pocket a way to record the street's sensory texture, the layer satellites and administrative data leave out, by deepening attention rather than optimising a route.

Open housing evidence, built with the London Renters Union: fragmented official data reconciled into 296 comparable councils and a Lewisham map you can actually investigate.
Researcher and developer · England and Lewisham
2024–present
A working instrument for the spatial-data field: where its roles are, what they pay, what they demand, and who its map leaves out, built to show its own confidence rather than assert it.

An open, keyless climate instrument: hand it any coordinate on Earth and it returns a sourced, multi-hazard exposure profile with a live satellite view, then hands the whole engine to AI agents.
Founder and full-stack developer · Global, any coordinate
The scale sets the question, leadership makes it deliverable, cloud engineering makes it run, making puts it in people's hands, and the critical practice keeps it honest. I carry a project full-stack, end to end, from the question to the shipped instrument: work most teams split across three separate hires. One line of enquiry read from different chairs.
Walking lets me work at the scale where infrastructure becomes atmosphere, habit and encounter. Routes, narration, sound and situated prompts are used to ask how places are felt, whose orientation becomes normal, and what spatial systems leave outside the frame.
This is not a separate artistic identity. It is how I keep technical decisions accountable to bodies, ecologies and public space.
Best when place, engineering and public value have to be decided together. Tell me the question and the constraint; I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person.
One fixed-scope offer exists: the urban heat diagnostic.
