What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build climate resilience through spatial data, climate tech innovation, nature-based solutions, sustainable water management, and disaster risk reduction.

I turn spatial data into actionable insights for climate resilience, drawing on GIS, data modelling, and automated model development. My MSc research at the University of Cape Town develops a framework to identify flood-susceptible areas in Cape Town using GIS and analytical hierarchy process.

I've supported GIS projects at Map It Out, managed geospatial databases and municipal GIS workflows at Akhile Management & Consulting, and coordinated 15 field data collectors for electricity infrastructure asset registers at Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission & Distribution Company.
