I am an archaeologist and cartographer. I use GIS and web development to visualize historic datasets through web apps and interactive maps.
In my work as a professional archaeologist, I have specialized in the use of GPS, GIS and photogrammetry software, applying this knowledge to archaeological fieldwork and focusing on the integration of different data sources in GIS environments.
I received formal training in GIS, cartography and web development at Oregon State University, where I obtained an MS in Geography and a Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Science.
In recent years my work has focused on Digital Humanities projects in collaboration with cultural institutions and universities. As a freelancer I create geo-visual web applications using exclusively open source software.
Processing and analyzing raster and vector geospatial data; working experience with ESRI ArcGIS software and extensions as well as open source GIS software; experience developing and maintaining GIS databases
In-depth knowledge of cartographic design and production concepts and principles; multi-year experience in the creation of mapping products and in the development of web-based mapping applications
Creation of geo-visual web applications using HTML, CSS, Javascript and JQuery; database management and data query using MongoDB and JSON files; basic knowledge of Python scripting
BA and Professional Doctorate in Classical Archaeology; fifteen years experience conducting archaeological excavations and surveys; management of complex excavations using GIS and photogrammetry
Use of Structure from Motion to document archaeological excavations; creation of georeferenced 3D models to perform spatial analyses and generate scaled drawings of archaeological features
Development of interdisciplinary projects to digitize historic archives and enhance their accessibility; application of web technologies to permanently preserve and assure open access to digital collections
