PAULIINA MÄKINEN
GIS SPECIALIST

Pauliina is an applied mathematician with somewhat inappropriately interdisciplinary education. This is probably why she moves smoothly in the interface of open-source GIS, data processing, machine learning and mathematical optimization. Further, an enthusiastic teacher lives inside of the analyst who gets excited in modelling complex spatial phenomena. Yet, often there is only one thing that sticks to your mind about Pauliina; Football for life.
