What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote GIS Analyst/Remote Sensing Analyst role where I can apply QGIS, Python automation, and Sentinel-2 mapping to real spatial data projects, with opportunities to grow in geoprocessing and environmental geospatial workflows.

I’m a GIS and Environmental Science professional with hands-on training in QGIS, Python for GIS, and remote sensing workflows. My background centers on spatial analysis, raster processing, and building reproducible mapping pipelines.

I’ve worked with Sentinel-2 imagery to generate NDVI and vegetation-related products, and I automated raster calculations and batch processing using Python/PyQGIS. In projects, I also built geoprocessing automation scripts for buffering, clipping, raster calculations, and layer management to reduce manual effort.

I’m careful about data quality—validating outputs, maintaining CRS consistency, and organizing vector/raster datasets using GeoPackage-based workflows. I’m now seeking a remote GIS Analyst / Remote Sensing Analyst role where I can apply technical GIS, automation, and environmental mapping skills to real-world spatial data projects.
