Vincent Kipyegon
@vincentkipyegon
Geospatial engineer specializing in spatial analysis, remote sensing, and geospatial software development.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented Geospatial Engineering graduate with hands-on experience in spatial data analysis, digital mapping, and remote sensing. I combine GIS expertise with software development skills acquired through PLP Academy to deliver actionable geospatial insights.
My professional experience includes internships and freelance work where I produced cadastral and topographic maps, led geospatial analyses for agroforestry and land restoration, and built predictive models integrating GIS data and visualizations. I routinely use ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Engine, AutoCAD, Python, and web tools to support environmental and urban planning decisions.
I have led student organizations as Finance and Publicity Secretary, managing budgets, coordinating events, and facilitating digital skills training. My project portfolio includes a web-based flood risk platform, a Sentinel-2 based tree health and carbon sequestration script, mangrove and urban growth analyses, and a maize yield prediction model.
I am passionate about applying geospatial technologies to climate action, agriculture, and urban resilience, and I seek roles where I can combine technical analysis, coding, and visualization to support data-driven decision-making.
