He combines GIS and open-source tooling—QGIS, SAGA, PostGIS, Python, MapboxGL—with design skills in Inkscape, CAD and Blender to produce visualizations ranging from cadastral documentation to election maps and literary atlases. A former regional development manager at Yandex and longtime landscape architect, he blends technical mapping workflows with architectural and urban-planning sensibilities.

Based in Cherkasy Oblast, he routinely tackles cross-disciplinary briefs that require both scientific rigor and aesthetic clarity.
