What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead geospatial and M&E systems design, build decision-ready data platforms, mentor teams, and support donor-funded programs with measurable impact.

I am a results-driven GIS, Remote Sensing, Data Analytics, and Monitoring & Evaluation consultant with 12+ years of multidisciplinary experience across urban planning, public health, climate resilience, and international development.

I design and implement geospatial databases (PostgreSQL/PostGIS), remote sensing analyses, and mobile data collection systems, and I develop Power BI dashboards and automation to turn complex data into decision-ready insights.

I have supported donor-funded initiatives across Africa (World Bank, FCDO, USAID, Mastercard Foundation), led field teams, conducted DQAs, and built MIS systems that improved data governance and program monitoring for hundreds of thousands of records.

I combine technical rigor with capacity-building and policy work—designing sampling frameworks and survey tools, delivering geodatabases and high-resolution mapping products, and training partners to sustain data-driven programming.
