About

I’m a Climate and Geospatial Specialist with 5+ years designing and operating end-to-end geospatial and data systems that translate environmental and climate data into commercial, strategic, and policy-relevant insights. I thrive at the intersection of field data, analytics, and decision-support platforms, using Python, SQL, and ArcGIS to turn messy datasets into actionable intelligence for conservation, water security, and policy outcomes.

I enjoy collaborating across technical and business teams, shaping data governance, dashboards, and near-real-time analytics that inform funding proposals and reporting. My work has helped organisations demonstrate measurable impact and secure funding for important environmental programmes.
