Urban planner at Urban Prime Consults using GIS and remote sensing to support development control decisions.

Nigeria

Message

At Urban Prime Consults, I conduct GIS-based spatial analysis, cartography, and thematic mapping to support urban planning and development control decisions.

I apply Google Earth Engine and R to land use and land cover analysis, and assist with Environmental Impact Assessment drafting, including baseline studies and mitigation frameworks. I also incorporate drone-derived data into GIS workflows for urban layout preparation.

For the Proposed Ikotun Bridge and Ultra-Modern Market, I developed 3D models of two bridge design prototypes and created renderings and Twinmotion animations to support design evaluation and presentation.

As an Intern at Adesanya Salako and Associates, I prepared planning reports, created 2D and 3D designs, and assisted with development plan proposals and mapping. My research interests include GIS and spatial analysis, transportation planning, sustainable housing, environmental planning, and ecosystem services.
