What I'm looking for

I seek geospatial roles applying surveying, GIS, and Python automation within collaborative teams focused on infrastructure or environmental planning, where I can grow technically and deliver actionable spatial insights.

I am a motivated Geospatial Engineer with hands-on experience in surveying, GIS, remote sensing, and data analytics, bringing RTK field operations together with Python-based geoprocessing to deliver accurate spatial solutions.

I have contributed to infrastructure and environmental projects—producing NDVI, NDBI, NDWI, supervised classifications, topographic and cadastral surveys, and technical reports for county and road-reserve projects.

I excel at automating geospatial workflows, building web maps and applications, and translating spatial analysis into actionable planning outputs that support decision-making.
