Fran Hinojosa
@franhinojosa
GIS Technician and Geomatic Engineer focused on GIS, remote sensing, and image analysis.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Graduate Surveyor and Geomatic Engineer with a Master’s Degree in Environmental and Territorial Management Techniques, and hands-on experience developing GIS work both on-site and in the office. My projects include 3D modelling, topographical surveys, and image analysis, with demonstrable tools such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Microstation, ENVI (Remote Sensing), and 3D Reshaper.
I studied further courses in Geographic information and I’m very interested in focusing my career on Geographic Information System and image analysis. I’ve also completed training like “Análisis Geoespacial with Python” and web mapping/GIS, and I published a paper based on my final project (“Study diacrhonic Land Use of the term of Paterna using GIS tools”), and I’m willing to work and continue to learn more in this profession.
