What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level geospatial role where I can apply GIS, remote sensing and surveying skills, contribute to mapping projects, and grow technical expertise in a collaborative, development-focused organization.

I am a geospatial engineering graduate with hands-on experience in surveying, GIS, remote sensing and spatial data analysis gained through multiple industrial attachments and academic research. I apply ArcGIS, QGIS, Google Earth Engine, AutoCAD and remote sensing tools to produce accurate maps, perform image analysis and support infrastructure projects.

During attachments at national agencies I contributed to topographic mapping, satellite image analysis, georeferencing, land-use classification and field survey data collection using GPS and total station equipment. My final year research integrated GIS, remote sensing and hydrological modelling to assess shoreline variation driven by climate and land-use changes.

I work well independently and within multidisciplinary teams, emphasize attention to detail and professional documentation, and seek to contribute innovative geospatial solutions that support planning and sustainable development.
