What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my geospatial expertise in innovative projects, with a focus on collaboration and continuous learning.

I am a seasoned geospatial professional with over a decade of experience in spatial data management, remote sensing, and application development. My expertise lies in defining and implementing automated workflows for hyperspectral, multispectral, and LiDAR data processing using Python, which has significantly reduced manual processing times and human error.

Throughout my career, I have orchestrated large-scale data collection projects, including LiDAR and imagery analysis, while developing real-time decision-making dashboards and web mapping applications. I am recognized for my ability to automate geospatial processes and create streamlined workflows that support critical infrastructure projects through GIS enterprise data management.
