👋 Hi there,

I am Ilya. I am a software engineer living in Switzerland. I design and develop geographic data visualizations and geo data analytics tools.

I've completed many projects for media, private companies, NGOs, transportation authorities and academic institutions. I've worked at big IT companies and startups, universities and a renowned design studio. Currently, I am helping to build the next generation geospatial analytics platform at Unfolded/Foursquare. In late 2020 I founded GeoVisually GmbH, an interactive maps and geographic data visualization consultancy.

My special interest is in visualizing data about geographic movement of people or goods, e.g. transport-related data. I wrote my thesis about this topic and developed FlowmapBlue, a free online tool for visualizing origin-destination movement. I am passionate about building tools which help cities to shift to sustainable mobility.

Check out my full resume and my LinkedIn page for more details on my professional background.

I am the father of 👦🏻🧒🏼. My wife is a professional translator. I like being in the ⛰ nature and 🚴🏻‍♂️ cycling. I play guitar and 🎹 and make electronic music. I share much of my code online.
