Background

About Nicolas Holm

As a self-taught GIS expert and instructor at Cifal York University, I am dedicated to using cutting-edge ArcGIS Web Applications to tackle global challenges, particularly in areas such as public safety, oceans, hydrology, and natural disasters. Fueled by curiosity and a passion for problem-solving, I design data-driven maps that captivate audiences and shine a light on vital humanitarian issues. My 'GIS magic' combines cutting edge mapping techniques, with artistic vision, resulting in maps that are both informative and visually captivating. In my role as a member of the technical board for various forward-thinking technology companies, I offer my knowledge and expertise to drive innovation. I am particularly skilled at unearthing essential data and creating complex interactive maps that provide users with a single, reliable source of truth. With over 2 million clicks on my freely distributed maps, I have showcased my skills in data curation, aggregation, and visualization across a range of industries. My accomplishments include developing an early-warning interactive 3D map for COVID-19 flight paths, partnering with the DiCaprio Team and filmmaker Michael Nash on climate change projects, creating a map on Tibet for the Dalai Lama, and speaking on Environmental Professional Radio, earning praise from US Army General Honoré. As a lifelong entrepreneur and dedicated father, I am enthusiastic about working with non-profits and startups that align with my core beliefs. I have a strong sense of purpose and am driven to make a positive impact in the world. I value honesty, trustworthiness, and acting with integrity in all that I do. I look forward to collaborating with like-minded individuals to drive positive change and make a lasting impact on the world.
