What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role leveraging GIS and data analysis to support public-sector planning or election systems, with collaborative teams and clear impact.

I am a resourceful Administrative Clerk and GIS/Remote Sensing technician with proven experience in cartographic digital mapping, supporting national election administration, and planning public-sector infrastructure.

I have cleaned and verified voter registration data, produced digital maps using ESRI Software and GPS location intelligence for Public Departments like Water and Sanitation, and Human Settlements. I led small teams during South Africa’s national elections, overseeing international vote counting to ensure accuracy and process compliance.

I combine technical GIS tools (ArcGIS, QGIS, ArcMap), data analysis skills (Excel, SQL, Tableau, R, Python), and strong project coordination to improve data quality, optimise service delivery, and support evidence-based decision making.
