ABOUT ME

Leveraging High-Precision GNSS positioning, Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive solutions in Precision Agriculture, Disaster Management, Deforestation Monitoring, Location Intelligence, Infrastructure Planning, Aviation Engineering, Climate, and Sustainability.

I am a High-Precision GNSS and Air Navigation Systems Specialist with over 15 years of experience in Aeronautical Engineering and Space Operations. Currently serving as an Air Traffic Controller at ASECNA, I have contributed to aviation safety across Africa.

Besides, I am proficient in GIS tools (Python, QGIS) and cloud computing geospatial platforms (Google Earth Engine, Google Colab, SEPAL, OpenEO) for analyzing big geospatial data from satellites and other sources. Over the past five years, I have also worked as a Geospatial Specialist Consultant at Omdena (US), where I have consistently delivered innovative solutions for international environmental projects with Partners in Japan, Australia, Madagascar, Tanzania and Cameroon.

In addition, I am currently exploring precision GPS/GNSS using Python, Open-Source Software, and Low-Cost GNSS receivers. If your project involves integrating High-Precision GNSS positioning into GIS workflows, I am available for Consulting collaborations. I can assist with data processing and analysis, configuration optimization, open-source migration, tool development, training, or other challenges related to building highly accurate and actionable geospatial solutions.

Furthermore, I volunteer with Climatematch Academy, contributing to globally accessible training materials for computational methods in climate science.
