Systems that hold
when the network
doesn't
I'm a data management and ICT specialist with the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic. I build the SharePoint architecture, apps and dashboards that let one operations cell keep track of twelve field offices, several hundred monitored services and tens of thousands of assets — across a country the size of France, over links that drop.

Selected work
Case studiesOne dashboard from sixteen lists
Nine units, nine spreadsheets, no shared keys. The hard part was never the dashboard — it was agreeing what a "location" is.

Read the case study →Twelve years of departures
Every flight I've taken since 2014, plotted. 105 segments, 221,015 km, 22 airports — built from a spreadsheet I've kept for a decade.
