What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and operationalize climate-tech and Earth observation analytics—automating geospatial pipelines, delivering reliable spatial insights, and working in a collaborative environment where scalable workflows matter.

I’m a geospatial and remote sensing professional with 7+ years of experience across environmental research, geospatial product development, and technical training. I combine geospatial technologies and data analytics to turn satellite and spatial datasets into practical decision support for real-world problems.

I build and automate geospatial pipelines using Python-based workflows and geospatial libraries, including Rasterio, GDAL, GeoPandas, and spatial databases like PostgreSQL/PostGIS. I’ve supported applied Earth observation projects involving environmental monitoring, land use analysis, and risk assessment, and I regularly focus on scalable, repeatable processes rather than one-off analysis.

Across roles, I’ve developed analytical tools, created reusable resources and technical documentation, and improved efficiency by reducing manual GIS effort through automation and custom scripting. I also share knowledge through workshop contributions and training workflows for Python, Google Earth Engine, and QGIS, helping teams operationalize advanced geospatial analysis.
