INFORMATION SYSTEM ANALYST/ GIS SPECIALIST

With extensive experience in project management, particularly in data processing, GIS, and technical support, I have consistently driven successful project outcomes through strategic planning, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. At the Philippine Statistics Authority, I played a key role in improving data quality and streamlining census operations, resolving over 50,000 data inconsistencies to ensure the accuracy and integrity of national statistical data. My leadership in training and mentoring GIS teams enhanced their proficiency in spatial data processing, directly supporting informed decision-making for development projects. I have effectively collaborated with field teams and technical support staff, ensuring smooth project execution and operational continuity. Additionally, my technical expertise in diagnosing and resolving issues with survey devices and GIS systems has minimized downtime, while my meticulous attention to detail in data validation and quality assurance has maintained the reliability of critical data. Through these efforts, I have contributed to the successful delivery of large-scale data-driven projects that support national planning and policy development.

With a strong, detail-oriented approach to data processing, I have consistently ensured the accuracy and integrity of datasets across various projects. As an Information Systems Analyst I at the Philippine Statistics Authority, I played a key role in processing large volumes of data for the Census of Agriculture and Fisheries, identifying and resolving over 50,000 data inconsistencies to enhance the accuracy and speed of survey submissions. My efforts in improving data validation processes directly supported national planning and policy-making. In previous roles, including as a Data Processor for the Census of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Updating of the Lists of Establishments, I meticulously reviewed and validated data, flagged discrepancies, and collaborated with regional teams to ensure high-quality submissions. Additionally, my experience as a Map Data Processor (GIS Specialist) involved analyzing and correcting geospatial data to ensure its seamless integration with socio-economic information for accurate decision-making. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data quality, contributing significantly to the success of large-scale data collection and processing initiatives.

As a Map Data Processor (GIS Specialist), I utilized QGIS to process and integrate spatial data, ensuring the accuracy and precision of geographic information for key socio-economic indicators like healthcare, sanitation, and education. My work directly supported local government units in making informed, data-driven decisions for community planning. I was responsible for identifying and correcting errors in shapefiles, performing quality checks on geospatial data, and maintaining high data integrity for national-level surveys, census operations, and development projects. I also prepared map layers for Primary and Secondary Sampling Units (PSUs and SSUs) in the Geo-enabled Master Sample (GeoMS) project, which played a crucial role in validating the PSU/SSU structure for national surveys. In addition, I contributed to geotagging and spatial validation by refining post-census maps to ensure alignment with actual geographic locations. Through training and mentoring team members on QGIS, I improved our collective proficiency in data processing and map validation. My expertise in QGIS also supported the successful execution of the 2020 Census of Population and Housing and the Census of Agriculture and Fisheries by ensuring accurate geographic boundaries and sampling units in survey maps. Additionally, I coordinated the integration of field data into the GIS-based census framework, ensuring the accuracy of maps for subsequent survey phases.

With a solid foundation in technical support across various industries, I have honed expertise in troubleshooting, system maintenance, and user training. In my recent role as an Information Systems Analyst at the Philippine Statistics Authority, I effectively managed and resolved technical issues with devices like desktops, tablets, printers, and network systems, ensuring minimal downtime and smooth organizational workflows. I also provided proactive support for field tablets used in extensive data collection for the Census of Agriculture and Fisheries. Previously, as a Registration Kit Operator for the Philippine Identification System, I maintained biometric equipment, ensured system security, and supported a seamless registration process for over 150 daily registrants. My earlier experience at ES Print Media Inc. involved troubleshooting and maintaining large-format printing equipment, as well as leading training sessions to empower clients in resolving basic technical issues. Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered high-quality technical support, system upgrades, and user training to optimize operational efficiency.

In my experience with Microsoft Excel across roles as an Information Systems Analyst, Data Processor, GIS Specialist, and Technical Support, I have developed a wide range of advanced skills. As an Analyst, I used Excel for data analysis, and reporting through complex formulas. In Data Processing, I applied Excel for data cleaning, transformation, and automation. As a GIS Specialist, I leveraged Excel for importing, exporting, and preparing geospatial data, along with basic spatial analysis and visualization. In Technical Support, I used Excel to create documentation. Across these roles, I utilized Excel’s powerful data manipulation, visualization, and automation features to improve efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making, making it an indispensable tool in my work.

My experience would span a wide range of computer literacy skills across different domains. From managing and analyzing data to designing and supporting complex information systems, handling GIS data, and providing technical support, I would be highly proficient with a broad suite of tools and technologies. The ability to switch between different roles and leverage my expertise in each area would allow me to approach problems from multiple angles and ensure the smooth functioning of IT systems within an organization.

As a beginner in web programming, I have built a solid foundation through structured online courses offered by the Department of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and supplemented my learning with reliable resources from platforms like freeCodeCamp and YouTube tutorials. The ICT courses introduced me to key concepts such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript, allowing me to create interactive, styled web pages and debug issues effectively. To deepen my understanding, I explored additional resources, participated in coding challenges. Moving forward, I am focused on expanding my skills in JavaScript frameworks, version control, and back-end development, with a goal of becoming a proficient full-stack developer. This combination of structured learning and independent exploration has accelerated my growth and fueled my enthusiasm for web development.
