Your location data is only as valuable as what you can actually do with it. Most GIS projects stall because nobody builds the pipeline to turn raw satellite imagery and spatial datasets into decision-ready outputs.
I build that pipeline, run the analysis, and deliver something stakeholders can act on.
I help researchers, startups, local authorities, engineering firms, and environmental consultancies turn complex geospatial data into outputs that save time, cut costs, and drive better decisions.
MSc in Geographic Information Systems from Sheffield Hallam University. 4 years working as a geospatial analyst, data engineer, and consultant across remote sensing, spatial data engineering, land use analysis, environmental monitoring, and end-to-end project delivery.
Recent work:
- Satellite screening pipeline for invasive alien plant species along the M1 motorway (J1-J20). Four years of Sentinel-2 imagery processed in Google Earth Engine, Random Forest classifier trained on 2,216 NBN Atlas records, survey area reduced from 120km to 28.7km (76% reduction), saving the client £45,000 to £183,000 per survey cycle. Delivered as an interactive web map with Google Maps navigation for field teams.
- Built and run Orbis Monitor, a live satellite monitoring system tracking NDVI, NDBI, and NDWI across Sheffield properties with automated monthly change detection reports in GeoJSON and PDF.
- 30-year land use change analysis for Dubai using harmonised Landsat 5, 7, and 8 in Google Earth Engine, covering cross-sensor harmonisation, supervised classification, and change detection.
- Spatial vulnerability index for Barnet, joining multiple authoritative datasets to a financial risk model under strict accuracy and audit requirements.
- Topographic surveys, contour mapping, site constraint analysis, and georeferencing for development projects across the UK and West Africa.
- Structured spatial datasets and technical reporting for the CRESR Affordable Homes Programme at Sheffield Hallam, a multi-stakeholder project requiring full PostGIS database management and documentation throughout.
What I deliver:
- Geospatial analysis and mapping: land use change detection, environmental impact assessment, site suitability analysis, risk assessment, spatial statistics, choropleth and contour mapping
- Spatial data engineering: ETL pipelines, PostGIS and PostgreSQL database design, raster and vector data integration, automated satellite processing, web GIS, API integration, Google Earth Engine workflows
- Geospatial consulting and decision support: technical advisory, methodology review, feasibility analysis, cost-benefit analysis, reporting in Shapefile, GeoJSON, DWG, PDF, and interactive web map formats
Tools: ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, QGIS, Google Earth Engine, PostGIS, PostgreSQL, Python (GeoPandas, Rasterio, Fiona, Pyproj, Scikit-learn, Shapely, NumPy, Pandas), GDAL, FME, SNAP, GeoServer, Leaflet, Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, Git.
The work I hand over is something you can use in a meeting, send to a client, or act on directly. If that's what your project needs, message me with the details.
