Senior science researcher specializing in satellite imagery, GIS, remote sensing, and geospatial analysis.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Science Research Specialist with extensive experience in satellite imagery analysis, GIS processing, and remote sensing methodologies. I have developed training materials, technical lectures, and image processing manuals used by government agencies and educational institutions.
My work spans generating change-detection and flood-mapping methodologies, executing scripts for SAR and optical applications, and creating training datasets for AI model development. I coordinate multi-agency projects and prepare procurement and compliance documentation for satellite imagery acquisition.
I have hands-on field and validation experience conducting GNSS and topographic surveys, accuracy assessments, and hydrologic dataset verification. I have trained stakeholders on the use of satellite data for monitoring, analysis, and decision support.
I am eager to continue learning while contributing my technical expertise in geospatial science, and I am open to adjacent roles that broaden my skill set and perspective.
