Ismail Rashad
Where business strategy meets spatial thinking. I translate location data into decisions — mobility, climate, and city-scale analytics across Southeast Asia and the United States.
About Me
WHO I AMI'm a geospatial data analyst with 4+ years of experience across Southeast Asia and the United States, translating spatial data into decision-ready insights through research, consulting, pre-sales, and analytics roles.
At GoTo Group (Gojek) I design and analyze experiments evaluating routing and cartography improvements. At Datakota I help the founder with spatial analysis across Indonesia — from retail market research to climate vulnerability mapping. I'm also a volunteer research assistant with NYU CUSP × University of Connecticut, researching urban morphology and energy consumption.
Experienced across urban science, climate, mobility, FMCG, healthcare, and real estate use cases, with a track record of cross-functional work aligning analysis with stakeholder needs.
