D. Professional Pitch

Professional Headline GIS Expert | Geodatabase Design & BIM-GIS Integration | LiDAR/DEM Processing for Infrastructure Projects (Roads, Water, Energy) Across Africa & Middle East
Elevator Pitch: I'm a GIS Expert specializing in the technical side of large infrastructure projects — geodatabase schema design, spatial analysis, and getting BIM and GIS to work together seamlessly. My work has included processing LiDAR data and QC-ing digital elevation models for a dam project in NEOM, Saudi Arabia; performing catchment delineation and hydrological modeling for water and drainage design in Malawi and Kenya; and automating spatial workflows in Python across ArcGIS Pro and QGIS to meet tight project deadlines. I'm comfortable being the technical backbone that engineers rely on to get spatial data right — accurate, QC'd, and ready for design.If you need someone who can turn spatial data into decisions worth millions, that's me.Lets Talk!!
