Detail-oriented Senior Catastrophe Risk and Geospatial Analyst.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Catastrophe Risk and Geospatial Analyst with extensive experience in Earth Observation and catastrophe risk management. My expertise lies in utilizing satellite imagery for climate and natural hazard risk modeling, focusing on events such as wildfires, flooding, earthquakes, and windstorms. I have a proven track record of designing and implementing geospatial applications using SAR/Optical EO data and cloud platforms like Google Earth Engine, which has enabled me to deliver real-time spatial intelligence.
Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented innovative solutions, such as a real-time hazard detection system that significantly improved damage assessment processes for underwriting and claims teams. My ability to translate complex geospatial data into actionable insights has been instrumental in enhancing disaster response capabilities and operational efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging remote sensing and GIS technologies to support climate resilience and emergency response initiatives.
