Projects & Experience
This page highlights key technical geospatial and remote sensing projects I have created, worked on and been a part of during my academic and professional career.
Additional links and information can be found, when available, for each example.
Geospatial Data Related Projects
Mapping Non-communicable Diseases and medication supply in The Gambia, 2024
Join project between UNOSAT and UNITAR-NCD to map, monitoring and forecast essential medicines and supplies of NCDs in The Gambia. This involved a data collection mission across The Gambia, which I was involved in preparing and undertaking.
The data collection mission included surveying and interviewing staff at different hospitals and medical facilities, capturing geodata and location-based photos.
Satellite imagery analysis for cultural heritage assessments, 2023 - 2024
I have worked on several humanitarian emergencies, including both conflict and natural hazards, coordinating with other team members to produce rapid geographic and satellite imagery assessments for cultural heritage sites. Some of these include:
Satellite-imagery analysis, mapping and monitoring of UNESCO Cultural Sites in Ukraine
Post-damage assessment of cultural heritage sites after earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters.
Geospatial multi-criteria decision analysis tool for education site classification (UNESCO x UNOSAT Project), 2021 - 2022
I worked with UNESCO to develop a geospatial tool to assess natural hazard risks for education planning. This tool is open-source and provided for users to access via the Github link below. We also developed a technical note and methodology.

Satellite Imagery to Support Vanuatu's Electoral Project, 2021
I contributed to UNOSAT and UNDP project, using satellite imagery to map electoral areas across Vanuatu. Leveraging very-high-resolution satellite imagery we were able to identify localities with missing or inconsistent data and plan field activities accordingly.
Cartography Web Map (HTML, CSS), 2019
In my final year of Master’s studies, I developed a Cartography Web Map using both open-source and commercial software. This includes CARTO, Mapbox, leaflet, Github and HTML/CSS coding.
Mapping Humanitarian Risk, 2020
For one of my final Masters Programme assignment projects I created a web mapping application, along with a few static maps to show a map of humanitarian risk within the Asia Pacific region. I used the open-source 2019 INFORM Risk Index, which measures countries risk through six sub-categories, within three main divisions.
This web app was also accepted into the 2020 ESRI UC Virtual Gallery.
Masters Thesis, 2020
Ecosystem benefits and Pacific urban informal settlements: Does location matter? A case study on spatial accessibility in Port Vila, Vanuatu.
This research puts into perspective a local scale of a selected nine communities through a spatial accessibility study to explore where they derive their ecosystem services from.
Can be accessed on demand, please contact me.
Mapping Climate Risk for Education Planning in the Caribbean, 2022.
UNOSAT and OpenDevEd collaborated together on a project to map climate risk for education planning for Caribbean countries, in collaboration with CDEMA.
I contributed technical inputs to develop and implement a regional model safe education sector plan and National Adaptation Guide.
Satellite imagery intelligence for conflict-related emergencies, 2023 - 2024
Undertaking satellite imagery analysis and producing intelligence-based products for several conflict and complex emergency situations. This includes a range of activities such as damage assessments, site assessments, security assessments, tracking IDPs, cross-referencing ground images, identifying on-ground equipment, among other things.
