What is GIS?
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a technology that allows for the management, analysis, and visualization of geographic data. It combines data from various sources, such as maps, satellite imagery, and statistical data, to create a comprehensive view of a specific location or area. GIS can be used for a wide range of applications, such as land-use planning, natural resource management, transportation planning, and emergency response.
Geospatial In simple terms, geospatial information is geography and mapping. It is “place based” or “locational” information. It is data tied to and portrayed on a map. Today, a map is no longer something you fold up and put in the glove compartment of your car.

Geo Spatial Python Developer | Geospatial Analyst | GIS Developer | Researcher | Remote Sensing
I'm a researcher and an experienced Python developer with a focus on data analysis, data wrangling, GIS, and imagery analysis. I develop back end workflows that can automate specific and technical workflows for end users. I am flexible in my solutions and can deliver outputs using licensed software such as ArcGIS or free open source solutions.
My professional experience includes ground deformation or infrastructure monitoring using radar remote sensing (InSAR) but I have also performed analyses on urban cover, irrigation monitoring, and agricultural monitoring. However, I practice machine learning in my personal projects that involve satellite image classification.
I have publications in the fields of traffic safety and satellite image processing and am an active contributor to open source research projects and communities.
