Command the instrument, then question it.
I work across 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.
Environmental scientist by foundation, then two UPC master's spanning sustainability science and architecture, followed by an MSc in Urban Spatial Science with Distinction at The Bartlett, UCL. Full-stack engineering learned by building. Now CTO-designate at CommunityAI, with experience across government, industry, research 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.
The practice is grounded in sustained work across technology leadership, European location intelligence and publicly funded urban research. Independent projects sit beside that record as evidence, not above it.
2026–present
CommunityAI, London
Set the technology and data direction for an early-stage, privacy-safe community-intelligence proof of concept. Led an open-data rebuild with spatial validation, provenance, licence governance and reproducible release controls.
Sep 2023–May 2026
TJX Europe, London
Delivered geospatial analysis for European markets and built cloud-native workflows connecting loyalty, footfall and demographic evidence.
Feb 2022–Feb 2023
Metabolism of Cities · Horizon 2020 CityLoops, from London
Co-developed and co-authored CityLoops' Urban Circularity Assessment method; built Sankey and CARTO outputs.
Jan 2020–Feb 2023
Ecotopia Urbana · Canary Islands and Catalonia
Delivered freelance urban-sustainability consulting, municipal energy and emissions analysis.
Mar 2021–Feb 2022
Metabolic · Horizon 2020 CENTRINNO, Amsterdam and London
Intern from March to September 2021, then Junior Researcher from October 2021 to February 2022. Co-authored CENTRINNO's Cartography Alpha Version for nine European pilots; modelled EU27 building stocks and flows across 144 typologies for European Commission JRC study JRC130992; and trained a Sentinel-1/LUCAS land-use classifier in Google Earth Engine for an EEA-commissioned project.
Jun 2019–Jan 2020
BCNecologia, Barcelona's urban ecology agency
Developed a spatial allocation model for Barcelona's home-care service within the Superilles Socials programme, combining service demand, neighbourhood indicators and the superblock grid.
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, with spatial infrastructure that can be tested and reused. The critique earns its weight because the same hands ship the code.
Motion carries one argument only: spatial signals become useful when the sources, interpretation and stopping point remain visible together.
Instrument 01 / Field to action
Field evidence
Measure the place without smoothing away gaps, scale or provenance.
Spatial reasoning
Test what changes with location, method and validation boundary.
Bounded action
Compare options, expose the trade-off and show where the claim stops.
The replay control restarts the finite Observe, Explain, Decide sequence.
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 · Current engagement
Technology and data direction for an early-stage community-intelligence venture, turning public, area-level evidence into a privacy-safe and auditable product without representing model signals as client outcomes.
Chief Technology Officer (Designate) · Organisation and platform
2024–present · Ongoing research
An urban-heat study 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 model tests how much neighbourhood heat variation these sources explain together and where their relationships differ by city.
Researcher and developer · Six European cities
2026 · Delivered commission
A two-hour walking workshop that reads twenty years of Olympic Park regeneration critically, on foot, where every engineer's phone becomes a voting booth and the walk itself is the data.
Artist and developer · Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London
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 end to end, connecting framing, modelling, engineering and interface work in one accountable chain. 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. The Urban Heat Diagnostic is available as a fixed-scope pilot; other work is commissioned selectively around the question and evidence.
