About

An independent studio for data, AI & writing

Geospatial analysis, applied AI, and original writing — run by one person, so you work directly with whoever is doing the work.

Founder of GeoIntel Works · two decades in geography & spatial data science

For two decades I've chased one question with steadily better tools: why does the same policy, investment, or exposure produce different outcomes in different places? GeoIntel Works is how I bring that work — and a few other things I make — directly to the people who need it.

The work ranges from one-off analyses and maps, to interactive dashboards, to private AI assistants served from my own hardware — and, when the analysis is done, original dark-fantasy fiction. Different crafts, same studio.

20+ years in geography and spatial data science
Spatial econometrics — geographically weighted & spatial-panel models (SAR / SEM / SDM)
Bayesian spatial modelling, system dynamics, and spatial data mining
Applied across urban & regional development, public health, and environmental justice

How I work

Principles

Rigour over flash

Methods you can defend — appropriate models, honest uncertainty, analysis that survives scrutiny.

Reproducible by default

Documented, re-runnable workflows. You get the result and the means to reproduce it.

Privacy-first AI

Self-hosted models on dedicated hardware, so your data never has to leave your control.
