What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in geospatial technologies and contribute to sustainable water management solutions.

I am a Senior Surveying and Geomatics Engineer with over 6 years of experience in applying geospatial technologies and remote sensing tools to infrastructure and water management projects across Africa. My work has been recognized by the Sudanese Engineering Council, where I am a Specialist Engineer. I currently serve as a Geomatics Technician at the Hydraulics Research Center, where I leverage my skills in GIS, remote sensing, and Python to develop innovative solutions for water resource management challenges.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed projects, conducted feasibility studies, and supervised construction activities to ensure adherence to specifications. My diverse skill set includes advanced technologies in data science, machine learning, and hydrological modeling, which I have applied in various international projects. I am committed to continuous learning and have pursued certifications in hydrological engineering, bathymetric surveying, and GIS applications, all while focusing on sustainable infrastructure and stakeholder engagement.
