GIS, Remote Sensing & Geospatial Data Specialist I am a passionate and results-driven Geospatial Data Specialist with over 5 years of experience in GIS, remote sensing, cartography, and environmental data analysis. My background combines formal training in Geoinformatics and Data Analytics with hands-on work supporting both government and private sector clients in land management, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure planning. I specialize in: > Spatial data processing and analysis using ArcGIS, QGIS, GeoPandas, and PostGIS > Remote sensing (Sentinel-1/2, Landsat, UAV imagery) for land cover mapping, flood risk assessment, and carbon stock estimation > Map design and cartographic production for print and digital use (PDF, PNG, KMZ, AI) > Geospatial automation and scripting using Python, R, and open-source tools > Data visualization and dashboards using Power BI, Google Earth Engine, and Streamlit > Survey and mapping workflow digitisation for national and sub-national planning systems My clients value me for being detail-oriented, dependable, collaborative, and solution-focused. Whether supporting student research, assisting NGOs with environmental reports, or delivering polished maps for investor presentations, I adapt quickly to your goals and work style. I’ve successfully completed projects such as: - Digitizing and geo-referencing UK PDF parcel maps for real estate investment platforms - Developing carbon stock estimation models using machine learning (Random Forest, XGBoost, CatBoost) - Creating risk-awareness and security zone maps for investor advisory reports in West Africa - Supporting spatial accessibility modeling for public health infrastructure using network analysis - Automating spatial workflows and metadata management for cadastral records using QGIS and Python As a licensed UAV pilot, I also integrate drone-collected data into GIS workflows—adding value to fieldwork-heavy projects in agriculture, forestry, and urban planning. If you need reliable GIS and remote sensing expertise with a client-first attitude and a track record of impact, let’s connect. Let’s build smart, spatially-informed solutions together.
