What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying advanced GIS, remote sensing and AI to real-world infrastructure, environmental or agricultural problems, with opportunities for research, technical leadership and impact.

I am a geospatial specialist with 15 years of progressive experience in GIS, cartography, topography, survey and data acquisition, combining domain expertise with advanced 3D infrastructure modelling and geospatial analysis.

My work spans enterprise-level GIS data processing, EO (earth observation) analysis, LiDAR and photogrammetric workflows, orthorectification, DSM/DTM generation, and development of multi-temporal, multi-scale geoprocessing techniques using ML and DL models.

I have led airborne survey missions, produced immersive 3D visualizations and supported natural resource management, agricultural zoning and infrastructure planning; I am currently pursuing a PhD in AI and Machine Learning for multisensory and multitemporal EO data analysis.
