Are you looking for someone who doesn’t just deliver—but builds systems, brings scientific depth, and solves real-world problems with precision? I’m Leeth Singh—a PhD-qualified Geospatial and Environmental scientist with over a decade of experience in remote sensing, climate change consulting, project management, precision agriculture, operations & planning and digital business transformation. I’ve worked across government, corporate, academic, and entrepreneurial spaces. My superpower? Turning complex data and fragmented operations into clear, actionable systems and maps that move businesses forward. ⸻ What I Do: I combine geospatial science, sustainability strategy, and operational systems thinking to help you: • Map, analyze, and interpret spatial and climate data • Build SOPs and workflows to streamline how your team works • Translate scientific information into business-ready insights • Strategize and implement ESG and sustainability initiatives • Create content and reports that inform, persuade, and comply • Set up full-service digital backbones for small businesses Whether you’re a land developer, ESG-focused firm, agricultural business, solar energy company, or a consultancy—you’ll get not just a freelancer, but a true thought partner who’s led real businesses from the inside. ⸻ Core Services: 1. GIS & Remote Sensing • Land-use and vegetation mapping (NDVI, classification, drone & satellite) • Climate risk, water quality, and ecological footprint analysis • Urban planning, infrastructure screening, and environmental assessments • Data visualization, map design, zonal statistics, spatial reporting 2. Scientific & Technical Writing • Research-backed reports, ESG documentation, grant writing • Peer-reviewed publication support and editorial reviews • White papers, data summaries, SOP documentation, consent forms 3. Business Operations & Systems • SOP development for healthcare, environmental firms, and service businesses • Digital transformation planning (e.g., Notion, Google Workspace, Canva systems) • Team onboarding systems, task tracking, and knowledge management • Feasibility studies for expansion and renovations 4. ESG & Sustainability Consulting • ESG readiness assessments, toolkits, and self-evaluation frameworks • Corporate responsibility strategy and communications • Training workshops and stakeholder alignment planning • Sustainability dashboards and compliance reporting (South Africa & global) 5. Social Media & Content Systems • Content planning for ESG and science-based messaging • Canva asset creation, content scheduling, and performance tracking • Campaign planning for workshops, products, or company launches • Newsletters, educational posts, and engagement strategies ⸻ What Makes Me Different: • I’ve built and run real businesses. I led the operations and full digitization of a physiotherapy practice (KAP), including HR, hiring, consent processes, and legal compliance. I currently run Carbon Conscious Consulting (CCC), offering ESG, GIS, and sustainability services to businesses across Southern Africa. • I’m both a scientist and strategist. I’ve co-authored academic papers, mentored students, managed R&D at Sappi Forests, and delivered spatial analysis for global firms like Woolpert. I can switch between technical depth and business clarity with ease. • I don’t just “freelance”—I partner. I bring the same level of attention, clarity, and strategic thinking to your business as I do to mine. I offer custom solutions, not cookie-cutter work. • You’re hiring a communicator, not just a technician. I know how to simplify and present complex work for executives, funders, or stakeholders. Whether it’s a visual dashboard, scientific map, or compelling report—you’ll get work that informs and persuades. ⸻ Tools I Work With: • QGIS, ArcGIS • Google Workspace, Microsoft Office • Notion, Tally.so, Trello • Canva (Pro), Descript, Glide • Python (for data analysis and automation), R Studio (for statistical modelling) • Drone data processing tools (Pix4D, Agisoft) ⸻ A Few Past Projects: • GIS + NDVI Mapping for golf course turf management (TerraX MVP project) • Environmental Screening Reports for solar energy projects (Sinan Energy) • Scientific R&D on wood fiber and chemometrics at Sappi • Operations leadership and full digital transformation of a healthcare practice (KAP) • ESG toolkit development for SMEs in South Africa • Content for social media or educational outreach • A hands-on project manager for a scientific or sustainability initiative Let’s talk about your project.
