Senior Expert: Geospatial Analysis & Monitoring and Evaluation (MEL)
I am a senior-level professional with over 30 years of experience bridging the gap between social science methodology and advanced technical systems. Holding Master’s degrees in both Sociology/Anthropology and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), I offer a rare dual-competency: high-level leadership in qualitative evaluation and technical mastery of Remote Sensing and geospatial data.
Core Qualifications
Decades of Leadership: Over 30 years of professional experience, including 15+ years specifically focused on monitoring, evaluating, and managing complex development projects and information systems.
Technical Mastery: Expert in advanced Remote Sensing, GIS, and data management, with a focus on open-source technologies, cloud-based processing pipelines, and data cubes.
Methodological Excellence: Proven ability to cross-validate multiple lines of evidence using both quantitative spatial data and rigorous qualitative evaluation tools.
Thematic Expertise: Extensive background in climate resilience, biodiversity, disaster risk management, and institutional accountability.
Professional Impact & Technical Milestones
I specialize in the design, evaluation, and deployment of digital platforms that require the exchange of large-scale, highly technical data. My track record includes:
System Design & Architecture: Developing regional web-based Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems for environmental finance, often deployed as cloud-hosted SaaS solutions.
Data Interoperability: Leading data quality assessments and ensuring interoperability standards across complex information systems.
Strategic Reviews: Conducting high-level strategic evaluations of global knowledge management systems and digital platforms to align technical trajectories with stakeholder needs.
Information Management: Designing integrated data platforms and dashboards that synchronize real-time reporting with spatial visualization for international development programs.
