Territorial data, thought through.

Independent data consultancy. I work with industry associations, consultancies, and public administrations on data-intensive projects at national scale.

01 Who I am

An independent practice, based in Barcelona.

I am a data consultant who works by engagement. The practice is individual: no team, no opaque subcontracting, no umbrella brand.

What I offer is full attention, methodological judgment, and the ability to move between the technical detail and the conversation with whoever decides.

02 What I do

Territorial and geospatial data, at national scale.

Five families of work, often combined within a single engagement.

Indicator frameworks
Methodology, definitions, sources, cadence, and data governance.
Open-data integration
Reconciling heterogeneous public sources into a single, documented dataset.
Cartography & geospatial
Analysis and representation at municipal, regional, or national scale.
Technical liaison
Mediating between technical teams and decision-makers, in plain language.
Remote sensing: LiDAR and computer vision
Processing LiDAR point clouds and orthophotography: elevation models, heights and volumes, and automatic detection of features across the territory.
03 Areas of work

Own work.

  1. 2026

    Evaporation of every swimming pool in Spain

    In development

    Theoretical evaporation for every swimming pool in Spain, based on wind shelter, vegetation, solar radiation and shading from surrounding buildings, derived from LiDAR and computer vision.

  2. 2025

    Water-evaporation model

    Technical prototype

    A quantitative model of evaporation losses as a function of climatic and design variables. Applied to infrastructure in the water sector.

  3. 2022

    National dataset of commercial premises

    Own dataset

    Construction and maintenance of a dataset aggregating public and private sources, with geographic normalisation and typological categorisation.

  4. 2019

    National-scale element detection over cadastre

    Own dataset

    Full processing of the Spanish cadastre to detect and inventory a built element type across the territory. Custom parsing and extraction pipeline.

04 Contact

A short conversation is enough to start.

No form. A direct email works better: within 48 hours I reply with a first framing or a date to talk.
