From field data to executive insight —geospatial intelligence for complex environments.
I build applied geospatial systems that turn earth observation, hydrography, UAV field data, and spatial analytics into decisions that matter.
Geospatial expertise at the scale of complex problems.
I work across the full value chain of geospatial intelligence — data acquisition, earth observation, hydrography, systems design, analytics, and strategic delivery. The goal is not only to generate maps or models, but to produce intelligence that leaders can act on.
From field operations to executive insight, I work across mining, waterways, infrastructure, and environmental systems in Canada and Nigeria — technically deep enough to run complex remote sensing workflows, strategically aware enough to frame intelligence for leadership audiences.
