What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my GIS skills in impactful projects, fostering growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated Geospatial Engineer with over 2 years of experience in GIS data analysis and mapping. My journey in the field has equipped me with the skills to analyze spatial data effectively, supporting various initiatives, particularly in forest conservation. I pride myself on my ability to deliver competent results, ensuring that the data I work with is both accurate and actionable.

During my tenure at the Kenya Forest Service as a Survey Assistant, I maintained GIS databases, performed quality control checks, and generated comprehensive reports and maps for stakeholder presentations. My educational background from The Technical University of Kenya, where I earned a Bachelor of Engineering in Geospatial Engineering, has provided me with a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of geospatial technologies.
