Omoro Alvin
@omoroalvin
Geospatial Engineer specializing in remote sensing, GIS, and geospatial AI for climate resilience and infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I am a Geospatial Engineer with hands-on experience in remote sensing, GIS, satellite image analysis, and 3D terrain modeling, focused on applying Geospatial AI to climate resilience, urban development, and digital governance. I have led field survey teams, produced CAD-ready sectional plans for large residential complexes, and supported infrastructure corridor mapping integrated with national agency workflows.
My academic foundation includes a B.Eng in Geospatial Engineering (Second Class Upper) with award-winning final-year research on drought hotspot mapping, and practical research experience processing multi-decadal climate datasets using Google Earth Engine and Python. I bring strong communication and organizational skills demonstrated as an elected class representative and environmental captain, and I seek roles where I can combine technical geospatial analysis, remote sensing research, and applied mapping for impactful projects.
