I build geospatial risk models and automated spatial data pipelines for infrastructure and insurance.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
At National Highways, I manage national-scale infrastructure datasets and lead drainage asset reconciliation across Confirm and HADDMS, strengthening environmental vulnerability analysis, data governance, and compliance. Previously at Aviva UK, I developed flood risk models, ETL pipelines, web map services, and location-based APIs to support property underwriting and catastrophe exposure management.
I've also automated land-management workflows at the Rural Payments Agency using Python, FME, and SQL, improving processing speed by 25%. My work spans GIS, remote sensing, spatial intelligence, environmental risk, and mentoring geospatial communities through Let Girls Map Zimbabwe and Women in Data.
