GIS and Remote Sensing Specialist at Equilibrium mapping crop extent and monocropping for biochar projects.

India
Message

At Equilibrium, I built a Sentinel-1/2 supervised crop classification workflow to map maize extent and demonstrate five-year monocropping across a biochar feedstock sourcing area in Karnataka. This supports Isometric-registered biochar project claims.

I also implemented a dynamic baseline for VM0047 projects and used georeferenced Google Earth imagery to estimate canopy cover and tree counts. My work includes mapping tiger reserve understory with drone LiDAR and multispectral data, and analyzing sea-level rise impacts for mangrove restoration.

At Thryve.Earth, I led satellite imagery analysis that identified over one million high-carbon potential land parcels across Brazil, and developed a web-based prospecting tool for India and the Philippines. I also created an AI chatbot using Python and LLM APIs to streamline carbon sequestration documentation.
