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.
