What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote or hybrid opportunities that blend web development with sustainability.

I am an Environmental Assessment Practitioner with a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Geography from Nelson Mandela University. My expertise lies in GIS, environmental modelling, and legislation, complemented by a growing passion for web development. I have experience in environmental consulting, remote sensing, and stakeholder engagement, which has equipped me with a unique perspective on integrating digital tools to promote environmental sustainability.

In my current role at Lornay Environmental Consulting, I compile Basic Assessment Reports (BARs) and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), coordinate public participation, and liaise with various stakeholders. Additionally, I work as a freelance web developer, where I build responsive websites and dashboards, utilizing technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My projects, such as the EcoTrack Dashboard and GreenRoots Website, showcase my ability to merge environmental insights with innovative web solutions.
