I’m a geospatial data scientist, currently working on a scientific exploitation project with the European Space Agency (ESA). My work focuses on satellite applications, particularly around environmental monitoring and urban development, as well as providing technical training for different people around the globe. I’m passionate about connecting with people globally and learning about diverse cultures. Traveling, engaging with nature, and understanding different perspectives make me truly happy. I aim to understand the behavior and cultural richness of as many people as possible.
