Hire the Best Remote Sensing Specialists

I create publication-quality maps for publishers, museums, engineering firms, NGOs, tourism organizations, environmental consultants, and government agencies worldwide. For more than 25 years, I have combined GIS analysis, cartographic design, illustration, and visual storytelling to produce maps that are both scientifically accurate and visually compelling. My work ranges from climate resilience, biodiversity, and infrastructure projects to museum exhibitions, editorial publications, tourism maps, corporate wall graphics, and interactive web maps. Unlike many GIS specialists, I don’t simply generate maps—I design communication products that help people understand complex information. My clients include The World Bank, USAID, DAI Global, the Charles Darwin Research Station, the Swedish Forest Agency, Expedition Map LLC, and numerous engineering firms, publishers, universities, and environmental organizations. Services include: • Cartographic Design • GIS Analysis and Spatial Modeling • Thematic and Environmental Mapping • Editorial and Book Maps • Museum and Exhibition Maps • Terrain Visualization and 3D Relief Mapping • Infographics and Scientific Illustration • Interactive Web Maps • Large-Format Wall Graphics Software: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Blender, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Python, FME, SAGA GIS, PostGIS and Leaflet.

I help organizations transform spatial data into clear, decision-ready insights through GIS, remote sensing, and drone data processing. With experience supporting governments, NGOs, researchers, and private-sector clients, I deliver accurate geospatial analysis for environmental monitoring, land cover mapping, flood assessment, forestry, agriculture, and infrastructure planning. My Core Expertise Includes: • Land Cover Classification & Change Detection • Satellite Imagery Analysis (NDVI, Vegetation, Deforestation Monitoring) • Drone/UAV Data Processing (Orthomosaics, DSM/DTM, Point Clouds) • Hydrological & Terrain Modeling • Professional Cartographic Map Design • GIS Database Management & Spatial Data Processing • Automated Geospatial Workflows in Google Earth Engine & Python Tools & Platforms: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Engine, Agisoft Metashape, PCI Geomatica, Python Why Clients Work With Me: • Accurate, validated deliverables • Clear communication throughout the project • Strong understanding of environmental and planning applications • Reliable turnaround and professional documentation If you need a GIS specialist who can deliver accurate analysis, professional maps, and practical spatial insights for your project, I’d be glad to help. Let’s discuss your project.

I build production-grade data pipelines for location data, the kind that survive real scale, messy sources, and senior technical review. Most data engineers can't work in GIS, and most GIS specialists can't ship reliable pipelines. I do both, which is exactly what location-heavy projects need. If you're working with geographic data, satellite or aerial imagery, parcel and infrastructure records, point-of-interest datasets, anything tied to coordinates, I turn it into clean, queryable, automated systems instead of one-off scripts that break the moment the source changes. What I do: - Geospatial ETL pipelines (PostGIS, geopandas, rasterio) that ingest, clean, and structure spatial data at scale - Remote-sensing and imagery workflows, sourcing, tiling, and organizing aerial/satellite data across many locations - Web scraping and data extraction (Playwright, BeautifulSoup) with proper deduplication, rate-limit handling, and validation - Config-driven, schema-adaptive pipelines that adapt to new sources without a rewrite - Spatial APIs and mapping backends (FastAPI, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Leaflet) How I work: I diagnose the real bottleneck before writing code, I'm honest about tradeoffs (including when the hard part is data cost or source limits, not engineering), and I build for handoff, documented, maintainable, and yours. Proof: - Processed 6M+ US building permit records through a config-driven ETL pipeline (ConstructIQ) - Built a nationwide vendor directory of 4,400+ records via multi-phase scraping and enrichment (EventStarted) - Mapped fiber infrastructure across Lagos State in PostGIS (UDIGAP) - B.Sc. in Surveying & Geoinformatics — the geospatial fundamentals behind the engineering Tell me what your data looks like and what you need out of it, and I'll map the approach against your constraints before we talk price.

I am a GIS & Remote Sensing Analyst with 5 years of experience in spatial data analysis, satellite imagery processing, and digital image classification for land use and environmental applications. I hold a Master’s degree in Cartography and GIS, which has strengthened my expertise in spatial analysis, map design, and geospatial data modeling. Over the years, I have developed strong proficiency in Google Earth Engine, QGIS, ArcGIS, and Python, applying advanced remote sensing techniques to support decision-making in urban planning, agricultural monitoring, and climate-related risk assessment. In addition to technical analysis, I have solid experience in designing and producing various types of maps, including thematic maps, land use/land cover maps, environmental monitoring maps, statistical maps, and high-quality cartographic layouts for reports and publications. I have led and contributed to multiple projects focused on land cover mapping, drought monitoring, and geospatial data automation, particularly in Vietnam. I am highly motivated, detail-oriented, and committed to applying geospatial technology and cartographic principles to solve real-world problems. I would be very happy to connect and collaborate.

Currently a full-time GIS analyst, helping clients meet their business objectives. Looking for that hidden gem or hard to find area? Maybe you have a scientific application or business problem that needs a verifiable solution. Why not retain a highly skilled certified GIS Professional (GISP) and published author with 27 years of experience to get the job done right? Knowledgeable, time-efficient and adept - with 100% client solutions solved wielding GIS technology. Excellent depth of analytical skills fine-tuned by almost three decades of listening to real-world problems and then translating them into solvable GIS problems. Published GIS author; B.S. Environmental Studies; Linux certified. Special interest connecting with data center clients, finding sites co-located with suitable terrain, fiber proximity, cooling water power and population density. Work in the green sector includes solar development (site selection and suitability), identifying buildable land and constraints; finding suitable locations on commercial building rooftops for solar using LiDAR; identifying customer locations and their proximity to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations (alternative fuels). Have worked on many projects needing lead generation. Use of GIS software and county appraiser parcel data identifies both the suitable properties as well as owner contact information. Applied applications of GIS technology to areas such as infrastructure, telecommunications, renewable energy, risk assessment, water resources, road & rail networks, land development and mining. First in the state of Florida to receive agency approval for GIS-based stream bank modeling (other surface waters).
