I am seeking a geospatial/GIS role where I can automate raster-vector workflows, deliver clear maps for decision-making, and apply remote sensing to environmental and urban challenges with teams that value measurable impact.

@reginadowlings
Geospatial analyst specializing in GIS, remote sensing, and automated spatial workflows for conservation planning.
What I'm looking for
I am a geospatial analyst focused on turning complex spatial data into actionable environmental insights. In my current role, I automate detailed environmental land assessment using advanced geospatial analysis for sustainable land management and conservation planning.
I calculate key ecological indices (NDVI, NDWI, VHI, and emission) from multispectral satellite imagery, perform terrain analysis with Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), and model ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration potential and habitat quality. I also assess environmental risks by modeling wildfire susceptibility and agricultural drought while building efficient raster- and vector-processing workflows.
I support urban planning and impact reporting as a GIS Analyst, using QGIS and ArcGIS with Python libraries such as GeoPandas and Matplotlib to automate workflows and produce visualizations. I have also contributed academically through teaching and research.
