What I'm looking for

I seek roles that use GIS and remote sensing for infrastructure or environmental impact, offering hands-on spatial analysis, collaborative teams, and opportunities to scale geospatial solutions.

I am a Geospatial Information Science specialist with practical experience in GIS, remote sensing, and geospatial database management, trained at Dedan Kimathi University of Technology.

I have supported infrastructure and environmental projects through GPS field data collection, spatial analysis, map production, and metadata management while at the Kenya National Highways Authority.

As a volunteer Robotics Instructor with TinkaCode I teach robotics, coding, and STEM problem-solving to school clubs, combining technical training with hands-on pedagogy.

I am committed to applying geospatial technologies for data-driven decision-making, environmental monitoring, and sustainable development while continuously improving my technical and communication skills.
