What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my GIS expertise in impactful projects, fostering collaboration and innovation in a dynamic work environment.

I am a GIS and Data Analysis professional with a strong foundation in geospatial technology, cartography, and consulting. My experience includes leading projects that integrate spatial analysis with data-driven insights, particularly in the development, agriculture, and humanitarian sectors. Currently, I serve as a Project Manager at Chromepay, where I lead digital transformation and GIS integration projects in Ethiopia.

In my role at Chromepay, I manage cross-functional teams and coordinate with stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery. I implement spatial data strategies that promote data-driven decision-making across various projects. Previously, I worked as a Data Collector for the International Medical Corps, where I collected GPS-based data for humanitarian mapping projects and improved data accuracy by 15% through effective analysis using ArcGIS and QGIS.
