Description

I am a physicist and software QA engineer with several years of experience in complex automotive systems, currently focusing on scientific data visualization and quantitative analysis.

My background includes work on large-scale embedded test environments, including ECU test benches with over 100 interconnected control units, as well as the development of Python-based test automation integrated into CI/CD pipelines. This experience has shaped a highly structured, analytical approach to problem solving and data handling.

In parallel, I specialize in transforming complex datasets into clear, precise, and publication-quality visualizations. My work combines mathematical rigor with clean visual design, with a particular focus on avoiding misleading representations.

Core expertise:

Scientific data visualization (Matplotlib, NumPy, Pandas)
Geospatial analysis and cartographic projections (GeoPandas, rasterio)
Density and spatial data modeling
Data processing, transformation, and exploratory analysis
Reproducible workflows and well-structured code

A particular emphasis of my work lies in understanding and communicating distortions in spatial data — for example when comparing projections such as Mercator, Robinson, or orthographic views.

Typical projects:

publication-ready figures for scientific or technical contexts
geospatial data visualization and mapping
quantitative analysis of spatial distributions
custom data analysis pipelines

I combine a strong technical foundation with a focus on clarity, correctness, and efficient implementation.
