Mohamed Soumah

I'm a tech-driven problem solver with a focus on Data Engineering and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I enjoy working with data—cleaning it, shaping it, and using it to create smart, location-based solutions. From building ETL pipelines to performing spatial analysis and creating geospatial visualizations, I aim to bridge the gap between raw data and real-world impact.

With an international background and fluency in both English and French, I bring a global perspective to everything I do. I’m also a former student-athlete, which taught me the value of discipline, time management, and working toward long-term goals—skills I now apply to both collaborative tech projects and independent problem-solving.

I’m passionate about using technology to understand our world better, and I'm always excited to learn, build, and contribute to meaningful data-driven solutions.
