Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geospatial analysis

Greetings! I am a geospatial analyst at Transport for London and I specialise in building and running Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through different technologies. As part of my specialisation, I teach and assist early and mid-career geographers with GIS, specifically how to retrieve and create data, run any type of geospatial analysis and interpret the results.

I work in both QGIS and ArcGIS environments and I would be more than happy to help with specific projects the students have in mind, if applicable. Otherwise, I have student-focused study programmes that provide the foundations as well as more advanced knowledge and skills.

Feel free to contact me for a chat!

Extra information

To work in GIS, we need a computer. Students can use their own. However, if they don't have one, we can go through it on my device.

About Me

I am Ovidiu "Ovi", I was born in Romania, grew up in Italy and obtained my BSc in Environmental Sciences at Brunel University London. Throughout my academic years, I helped different researchers with their duties, both in the literature and in the laboratory.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and data science were a big part of my studies and the roles I had. At TfL, I currently work in a variety of GIS-based teams who make efforts to maintain and improve the transport network within Greater London. This is demonstrating to be excellent experience, which is enriched by the great people within the organisation.

Alongside my main role, I have some connections with academics at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and the University of Zambia, with whom I carry out health-based scientific research on Africa.

I enjoy travelling, reading and playing chess, both casually and professionally. Feel free to contact me!

Python programming and introduction to algorithms for beginners and high school students (high school & university level)
💻 Introduction to Python and Algorithmic Programming Full title: Python programming and introduction to algorithms for beginners and high school students (high school & university level) (100% distance learning — for high school students, college students, beginners or adults retraining) Programming is an essential skill today, whether for studies, personal projects, or the professional world. But when you're just starting out, it's easy to feel lost when faced with seemingly complex lines of code or computer logic. That's where I come in! With a progressive, caring, and structured approach, I help students get to grips with Python—one of the most accessible and powerful languages—while discovering the basics of algorithms in a simple and concrete way. My goal is to transform the apprehension of coding into curiosity and joy of learning, and to lay solid foundations so that each student progresses with confidence. 🎯 Course objectives Learn the fundamentals of Python programming from scratch. Develop logical and algorithmic reflexes. Understand and build simple but useful programs. Inspire a taste for programming through accessible and concrete projects. 📚 Course content ✔ Python Basics – Syntax, indentation, comments – Variables, data types (numbers, strings, lists...) – Conditions (if, elif, else) – Loops (for, while) – Simple functions – Notions of modules and libraries ✔ Algorithms for beginners – Understand what an algorithm is – Writing in pseudo-code and Python – Sorting algorithms (bubble sort, insertion sort, etc.) – Searching for items in a list – Getting Started with Recursion – Simple optimization and complexity ✔ First practical projects – Creation of mini-games (e.g.: guess the number, rock-paper-scissors) – Simple calculator or unit converter – Automation of basic tasks (for example: automatic sorting of a list of students) – Small personalized projects based on the student’s interests 🧭 How the sessions work 1️⃣ Assessment of level and objectives (complete initiation, reinforcement, preparation for a competition or a project). 2️⃣ Tailor-made progression plan, with concepts covered step by step. 3️⃣ Alternating theory/practice to quickly develop autonomy. 4️⃣ Exercises, mini-challenges and projects to apply each concept learned. 5️⃣ Corrections and detailed explanations for each difficulty encountered. 6️⃣ Personalized monitoring, with regular assessments and continuous adaptation of the pace. 🌍 100% online courses – modern and adapted teaching methods Sessions via Zoom, Google Meet, or any other tool of your choice Interactive materials provided after each session: annotated codes, PDF files, exercises, tutorials Flexible hours, compatible with busy schedules and time differences (ideal for students living in the Gulf countries or elsewhere) Possibility of individual or small group lessons (siblings, classmates, etc.) 👨‍🎓 For whom? High school students or students in a technology/science stream wishing to prepare for higher education Students at the beginning of a computer science or science course Adults in professional retraining, curious to learn to code Complete beginners wishing to develop their digital skills With me, you'll learn to think like a programmer, not just copy code. You'll gain logic, rigor, and autonomy—valuable assets for the future. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the most suitable path, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am here to guide you with enthusiasm and kindness.

Private coding / programming lessons with python
Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning. This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied. As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others. I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly. Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.
