Power BI GIS Featured
Territorial Security Dashboard — Urban Informal Settlement, Buenos Aires
Public Safety · Real-time Power BI · Geospatial hotspot analysis

Built the first territorial security dataset for an informal settlement structured with resident complaints, business records, and public employee data. Georeferenced conflict hotspots to support targeted police deployment. Developed a real-time Power BI dashboard enabling direct coordination between the executing agency and the City Police.

Power BI Gender Data
Gender Intervention Monitoring Dashboard
20+ programs · 171 instances tracked · Buenos Aires 2024

Systematized dispersed databases across 20+ programs eliminating duplicates and unifying formats. Built a Power BI control dashboard tracking 171 program instances in 2024. Allows evaluation of demand, strategy alignment, and results communication for three audiences: coordination, leadership, and institutional reporting.

Research narrative
2021
Baseline 2022–23 Escalation Oct.7 War period
2026
Phase 1
Baseline period
Low-level cross-border tensions. Lebanon-Israel frontier incidents. UNIFIL monitoring active in South Lebanon.
2021–2022
Phase 2
Escalation cycle
Baalbek-Hermel rises in conflict frequency. Al Nabatieh consolidates as leading vulnerability zone. South Lebanon housing stress increases.
2022–Oct 2023
Phase 3 — Structural break
October 7, 2023
Hamas attack triggers +200% event surge in Israel. HaDarom rises from lowest to 4th most vulnerable region. Simultaneous Lebanon front activation.
Oct. 2023–2024
Phase 4
War & displacement
~1.9M displacement in Gaza/WB collapses IVUB denominator. Analysis focuses on Israel + Lebanon for methodological integrity.

Key findings
🔴
Al Nabatieh leads with IVUB = 1.000
Driven by UNIFIL-documented events and sustained war-period intensity from 2006 through 2024. Highest vulnerability score across all 14 regions analyzed. South Lebanon events account for 41% of total Lebanese fatalities.

📈
October 7 is a structural break
Conflict events in Israel surged +200% post-October 2023. HaDarom rose from the lowest to the 4th most vulnerable region in a single quarter — unprecedented in the dataset's 5-year range.
Israel · HaDarom
📍
78% of Israeli events cluster at the border
HaDarom and HaZafon+Golan together account for 78% of all Israeli conflict events, revealing a clear border-proximity vulnerability gradient that shapes shelter demand distribution.
Spatial pattern
⚠️
Gaza/West Bank excluded from IVUB
~1.9M displaced persons in Gaza and West Bank cause denominator collapse in the per-100k normalization, making regional comparison invalid. Full methodological note available in repository.
Methodology note

Research question: Is there a spatial relationship between conflict intensity, shelter coverage deficit, and socioeconomic vulnerability in Israel and Lebanon — and how does the October 7, 2023 structural break reshape that distribution?

The IVUB (Urban Vulnerability Index) combines conflict events, fatalities, war-period intensity, and events per 100k inhabitants. Normalized with Min-Max scaling and Winsorizing at p95 across 14 administrative regions.

About

Urban data professional,
policy translator.

Data, institutions, and policy translation across government and international development.

My career sits at the crossroads of government, international development, and data analytics. I have spent 12+ years designing the systems that help city leaders, World Bank teams, and UN-Habitat programs understand what is actually happening on the ground.

At the Government of Buenos Aires I contributed to building M+E systems from scratch: real-time Power BI dashboards, KPI frameworks aligned with SDG targets, and the first security dataset for an informal settlement that connected resident complaint data directly to police deployment decisions.

My background in International Relations gives me something most data analysts do not have: I understand how institutions work, where power sits, and how decisions are actually made. I build dashboards that translate data into knowledge.

Let's work together.

Open to the right opportunity.

I am particularly interested in roles at the intersection of data and public impact — global consulting firms, international cooperation, and urban/GovTech contexts working on evidence-based policy. Open to remote and hybrid roles. Currently based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
