About
I am an Associate Professor in Civil Engineering with a PhD in Geospatial Information Systems and over 15 years of experience in GIS, remote sensing, spatial analysis, and mapping. I specialize in delivering accurate geospatial solutions, including digitization, site suitability analysis, geodata management, and high-quality cartography.
Throughout my career, I have led academic and consulting projects in SDI/NSDI, supervised mapping production teams, and delivered GIS-based solutions for government and private-sector clients. I am skilled in ArcGIS, QGIS, remote sensing tools, geospatial databases, and data visualization.
I bring strong analytical skills, clear communication, and a commitment to delivering precise and timely results for every project.
