About
Geospatial intelligence for environmental modelling, ecosystems, and decision support
Professional Background
I work with satellite data, environmental systems, and geospatial analysis to understand how landscapes are changing and what that means for decision-making.
My background spans remote sensing, environmental monitoring, and applied modelling. I have worked across research and industry settings, building workflows that move from raw data to something practical, whether that is assessing land use change, monitoring ecosystems, or supporting water and environmental management.
More recently, I have been expanding into GeoAI and scalable geospatial pipelines, with a focus on making analysis reproducible, efficient, and usable beyond academic settings.
