GIS Analyst
Chetumal Multimodal Terminal Construction · full time
Jan 2026 – Present · 8 mos · Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Managed spatial databases for cargo rail terminal construction across 4 major southern sector hubs (Palenque, Escárcega, Xpujil, and Chetumal). Engineered automated data workflows integrating PostgreSQL/PostGIS, QGIS, and Autodesk Map3D to streamline CAD-to-GIS interoperability across engineering sectors. Enforced topological integrity and spatial QA/QC protocols to normalize incoming field vector data and archaeological registries.
Environmental & GIS Supervisor
Constructora Talleres y Cocheras Tren Maya · full time
Dec 2024 – Jan 2026 · 1 yr 1 mo · Campeche & Quintana Roo, Mexico
Supervised environmental compliance and railway technical infrastructure construction across Sections 6 and 7 (Tulum–Chetumal–Escárcega). Centralized and systematized geospatial and environmental surveillance data using GIS to manage document control for 20+ active subcontractors simultaneously. Monitored spatial indicators for soil conservation, flora/fauna management, and environmental risk compliance in high-sensitivity ecosystems.
Urban Geomatics Consultant
SIMUT LiDAR · freelance
Dec 2024 – Jul 2024 · < 1 mo · Campeche
Conducted photogrammetric data integration and building facade deterioration mapping in QGIS for historic preservation. Integrated field inspection forms with CAD digitalizations (AutoCAD) to create structured spatial risk assessment maps. Standardized spatial data inputs to support decision-making for environmental risk management and architectural conservation.
Geospatial Data Analyst – Analysis Lab
Tren Maya (INAH) · full time
Oct 2021 – Present · 4 yrs 11 mos · Southeast Mexico (Campeche, Quintana Roo, Yucatán, Chiapas, Tabasco)
Led vector data normalization, spatial cleaning, and topological QA/QC for large-scale spatial matrices across 5 states in Southeast Mexico using QGIS, PostGIS, and Global Mapper. Coordinated database workflow optimizations in PostgreSQL, standardizing detailed archaeological excavation registries and site geometries. Automated mass cartographic production and technical reporting using QGIS Atlas, significantly reducing map generation time for cross-departmental operations. Enforced strict topological rules and spatial integrity across complex archaeological vector boundaries and linear infrastructure layers.
Urban Planning Assistant & Technical Draftsman
Aro-V · internship
Dec 2018 – Jun 2021 · 2 yrs 6 mos · Jalisco, Mexico
Collaborated on technical development for Urban Development Plans (Population Center Plans) in El Salto, Jalisco, utilizing ArcMap, QGIS, and AutoCAD. Digitized executive civil engineering and urban cartography projects, including surface hydrology, topographic leveling, electrical/hydraulic isometric drawings, and road alignment designs. Structured spatial zoning layers and urban land-use boundaries for municipal territorial planning instruments.
Projects & Portfolio
CONACYT Feasibility Study & Socio-Economic GIS Database (Tren Maya Project)
Collaborated on a nationwide research project systematizing socio-economic statistics and spatial datasets for municipalities along the Tren Maya rail corridor. Structured spatial indicators to evaluate regional connectivity, environmental sensitivity, and human settlement dynamics across Southeast Mexico.
Socio-Economic Impact Mitigation for Mass Transit Systems (Guadalajara Light Rail Line 3)
Developed a spatial assessment and urban mitigation framework for negative socio-economic impacts surrounding mass public transit infrastructure. Analyzed spatial accessibility, land-use transformations, and demographic indicators along the Light Rail Line 3 corridor in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area using QGIS and spatial statistics.
Urban Planning & Environmental Conservation Strategy – Cuxtal Ecological Reserve
Awarded 2nd place nationally in the ANPUD workshop for an urban intervention proposal targeting illegal human settlement growth within the Cuxtal Ecological Reserve in Yucatán. Integrated spatial risk mapping, environmental boundary enforcement, and sustainable land-use zoning.
Spatial Analysis: Land-Use Change and Archaeological Heritage Loss (INAH Symposium)
Keynote speaker for the Internal Symposium of the Tren Maya Project (INAH). Developed a geospatial research model analyzing historical land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) to assess risk indices and mitigate cultural heritage loss across infrastructure corridors. Integrated remote sensing assets, raster analysis, and vector overlay models.
