Data & Spatial Analyst · Climate Risk Specialist

Metro Manila, Philippines

Data & Spatial Analyst with 6 years of experience working across climate risk, natural hazards, geospatial analytics, and environmental data. Turns complex spatial and scientific datasets into risk metrics, analytical workflows, dashboards, and decision-support outputs.

Builds reproducible analysis and automation workflows using Python, SQL, R, GIS, remote sensing, and cloud platforms. Experience spans TCFD-aligned climate risk assessments, natural-hazard modeling, Google Earth Engine, spatial data pipelines, and executive-facing analytics.
SyCip Gorres Velayo & Co. (SGV, Ernst & Young)
Senior Associate · Climate Change & Sustainability Services Jan 2024 – Present
  • Led TCFD-aligned climate exposure assessments across 500+ assets nationwide, identifying high-vulnerability sites and translating findings into risk-reduction recommendations for senior stakeholders.
  • Develops custom Python-based methodologies and automation tools that compressed hazard exposure and modeling turnaround from an industry-typical month to 2 weeks.
  • Ran RCP scenario analysis to design future-projection risk models for flood and landslide hazards (Python, QGIS), supporting long-term climate resilience planning.
  • Automated Google Earth Engine workflows to map river turbidity and identify sediment-heavy zones for dredging-site planning.
  • Facilitates climate-hazard workshops for clients across the electronics and conglomerate sectors, plus a recent finance-executive (FINEX) workshop, and co-authors technical proposals for project bids.
  • Led IFRS S1/S2 capacity-building sessions for a food-and-beverage sector client, translating new sustainability-disclosure requirements into practical next steps.
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)
Science Research Specialist Mar 2023 – Dec 2023
  • Cut data-collection time for ground-shaking (seismic) hazard models by 50% through workflow automation.
  • Built Python scripts for spatial hazard-exposure extraction, automating multi-layer overlay analysis in ArcGIS/QGIS.
  • Integrated geospatial data-collection and processing workflows to support national hazard-mapping decision-making.
University of the Philippines – Resilience Institute (UPRI)
GIS Researcher & Operator Jan 2021 – Feb 2023
  • Applied Git, Bash scripting, and Linux to automate volcanic hazard modeling (Ash3d) for rapid multi-scenario outputs.
  • Led GIS support for a Climate Resilient Project, streamlining seismic hazard data processing.
  • Used LaTeX for clear, structured scientific report writing.
University of the Philippines (OVCRD-funded)
Project Research Assistant Aug 2020 – Dec 2020
  • Compiled a Philippines-wide database of recorded natural-hazard interactions and cascades.
  • Presented findings via GIS-based visuals at a virtual poster session, AGU Fall Meeting 2020.
Sustainability Data Analyst
  • MCDA framework (AHP + TOPSIS) ranking performance across SDG-aligned indicators from multi-dimensional datasets.
GIS / Remote Sensing Analyst
  • Quality control and validation of satellite imagery datasets used for AI model training/evaluation.
Environmental Data Analyst
  • Oceanographic eddy analysis from large-scale NetCDF datasets via Python.
Data Research / Web Scraping
  • Automated web-scraping workflows (Python, Selenium) for structured market/product data.
