Geospatial/GIS Specialist on the British Museum project, mapping archaeological sites with DGPS, Total Station, and LiDAR.

Nigeria
Message

On the British Museum (BM) Project, I conduct high-precision archaeological site mapping with DGPS and Total Station, and produce detailed site maps and plans.

Across heritage and research projects, I’ve planned and carried out drone LiDAR surveys, processed point clouds into terrain products, and prepared spatial datasets for analysis. My work has included the DAI, Mellon, MAEASaM, ANI Foundation Cultural Heritage, and MOWAA projects.

I built AstraScan ML, an independent web app that analyzes and annotates satellite imagery to support feature identification, remote sensing interpretation, and urban planning. It uses Gemini multimodal AI and was developed with Google AI Studio.

I’ve also designed QField data collection projects for field teams and am developing scripts to detect vegetation anomalies in satellite data. My background includes a B.Eng. in Civil Engineering and an MSc in Construction Management in progress.
