GIS/Geospatial Specialist: LiDAR, Point Cloud, CAD-to-GIS, and Automation
I turn raw spatial data (drone, satellite, LiDAR, or field survey) into accurate, client-ready GIS, CAD, and cartographic deliverables. My background spans SAR remote sensing research, agricultural GeoAI, and hands-on freelance delivery across terrain modelling, vegetation analysis, and geospatial automation, working long-term with engineering firms, researchers, and environmental teams who need reliability, not one-off gigs.
LiDAR & Point Cloud Processing
Point cloud georeferencing, classification, and cleanup in CloudCompare and QGIS. DTM/DSM/TIN surface generation, contour extraction, spot elevations, and breaklines are output to AutoCAD Civil 3D and GIS formats with full X, Y, Z accuracy and QA/QC at every step.
CAD-to-GIS & Cartography
Coordinate system transformation, georeferencing, and clean conversion between CAD and GIS formats (shapefile, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, and DWG). Print-ready cartography for reports and engineering use with proper labelling, symbology, and visual hierarchy plus ArcGIS Online and Leaflet/Mapbox web deployments.
Spatial Analysis & Environmental Mapping
Polygon digitising, spatial joins, buffer/setback analysis, and cadastral/parcel work. Vegetation classification and LULC/change detection using Sentinel-2, Landsat, and drone imagery. Comfortable interpreting aerial imagery against government spatial datasets.
GIS Automation
Python (GeoPandas, Rasterio, GDAL, and ArcPy) pipelines are built for repeatable, scalable workflows with results delivered in clean, client-ready Excel reports, not just raw output.
Tools: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, AutoCAD Civil 3D, PostGIS, CloudCompare, Google Earth Engine, Python
I work independently, communicate clearly from scope to delivery, and treat accuracy – coordinate systems, classification quality, layer structure – as non-negotiable. Open to a paid trial to show fit before a longer engagement. Happy to share samples.

I help clients turn location and spatial data into clear, useful, and visually engaging maps, analysis, and interactive experiences.
Whether you need a custom printable map, an interactive web map, GIS analysis, or help turning raw data into something easy to understand, I can help bring your ideas to life.
My work includes:
• Custom maps for print, events, running routes, tourism, wall art, and presentations
• Interactive Web GIS applications using Mapbox GL JS, Leaflet, and ArcGIS StoryMaps
• GIS analysis and spatial problem solving
• Hydrology and terrain analysis (flow direction, flow accumulation, watershed and flood risk analysis)
• Remote sensing, photogrammetry, and change detection projects
• Cartography and publication-ready map design using QGIS and Adobe Illustrator
• Visual presentations and map layouts using Canva
• Data processing from CSV, Shapefiles, GeoJSON, GPX, DWG, drone orthophotos, and point cloud datasets
I work with both technical and non-technical clients and focus on turning complex information into outputs that are accurate, clean, and easy to use. Whether you’re a researcher, organization, business owner, planner, surveyor, or someone with an idea for a map, I aim to provide practical solutions and a smooth experience from start to finish.

Bridging the Gap Between Scalable Backend Architecture and Applied AI
I am a Full Stack Engineer with a professional background in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. I specialize in building high-concurrency backend systems and integrating intelligent features such as NLP and machine learning into production-grade applications.
With extensive experience building for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Value-Added Services (VAS), I am comfortable architecting systems that serve massive user bases across telecommunications networks like MTN and Glo. I don’t just build models; I build the robust, secure, and observable infrastructure required to run them at scale.
What I Bring to Your Project:
AI & Data Science: Professional experience in building AI-powered media platforms and automated loan recovery systems using machine learning.
High-Performance Backend: Expert in Laravel (Octane/Swoole), Node.js (Sails.js, Express.js), and Java Spring Boot.
MNO & VAS Expertise: Deep experience developing applications for major network providers (MTN, Glo), including interactive gaming platforms and large-scale media services like JollyPodcast.
Full Stack Execution: Proficient in React and Flutter for building responsive, data-rich interfaces that connect seamlessly to complex backend APIs.
Systems Engineering: Hands-on experience with Docker, Redis caching strategies, and database optimization to ensure maximum uptime and speed.
Selected Professional Impact:
MNO Media & Games: Developed high-traffic platforms for MTN and Glo, including JollyPodcast and various interactive gaming services for mobile subscribers.
AI-Powered Recovery: Built a machine learning platform that automates loan recovery workflows, using ML to trigger outbound calls and facilitate multi-party escalations.
AI Media Platform: Developed "Laudr," an AI-driven podcast platform currently serving 500+ creators across Africa.
Fintech & Lending: Architected unified APIs for payment collection, risk management, and credit reporting for products like LendoCredit and Àfihà n.
Community Automation: Automated certificate verification for 10,000+ members and deployed AI chatbots at Data Science Nigeria.
I am passionate about writing code that is fast, maintainable, and resilient. Whether you need a sophisticated AI integration, a scalable MNO service, or a full-stack application, I deliver production-ready solutions.
