What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can apply my skills in GIS and data science to solve real-world problems while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a Geoinformatics specialist with a strong foundation in Spatial Data Science, holding a Bachelor's degree in Geology and a Postgraduate Certificate in Geomatics. My hands-on experience in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has equipped me with the skills to tackle complex spatial challenges using data science tools and programming languages.

Currently, I am pursuing an MSc in Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing, focusing on the application of Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques to spatial data analysis and computer vision. My professional journey includes roles as a GIS Analyst and Independent Consultant, where I have successfully implemented innovative solutions for infrastructure projects and remote sensing analysis.
