What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute innovative geospatial and data science solutions in soil carbon modeling, leveraging GIS, remote sensing, and machine learning to advance environmental sustainability and climate resilience.

At Adaptive Management and Research Consultants (AMREC), I worked as a GIS Analyst processing and visualizing geospatial data, analyzing satellite imagery, and producing maps for decision-making. I also developed environmental monitoring and predictive analysis models.

At NatureWorks Consultancy, I supported capacity building, business development, and partnerships, and managed project planning and implementation. I led teams delivering GIS-based solutions for land use planning, conflict mapping, and ecological assessments.

My research projects include GIS-based modeling of soil carbon storage across land uses, ecosystem monitoring in the Aberdare Ranges, and SWAT modeling of climate change impacts on the Sondu Miriu River Basin. I’m looking to contribute geospatial and data science solutions to soil carbon modeling, environmental sustainability, and climate resilience.
