Evans K.

I’m a results-oriented GIS professional with over three years of experience creating maps and solving technical and spatial problems. I am a passionate and dedicated web GIS developer with a degree in Geospatial Information Science and Remote Sensing. My day-to-day tasks involve collecting spatial data, compiling, analyzing and visualizing results through charts, graphs, plots and dynamic and interactive web maps. My area of expertise include: • Spatial Analysis – proficient in GIS software: ArcGIS, QGIS, Grass GIS, Global Mapper, Google Earth pro, Google Maps, ENVI and ERDAS. Network analysis, geocoding and geolocation, suitability analysis, least cost path analysis, route optimization, geo-referencing, demographic analysis, GIS modelling on forestry, wetlands, urbanization, pollution, population etc., data integration and conversion • Remote Sensing – satellite image extraction and processing, DEM creation, NDVI , NDWI, NDSI, index calculations, Image classification and land cover maps. • Programming and data science – GIS automation and scripting using python, pandas, numpy, matplotlib, back-end development e.g. Django python framework, Geoserver and Mapserver, web app development using technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. In addition, I'm also conversant with spatial databases such as PostGIS, Spatial MySQL, SQL Server and Microsoft Access. Some of the tasks and accomplishments include: • Collecting, processing and analyzing data acquired from satellites, drones, aircraft or ground-based platforms. • Processing images to create land cover maps. • Developing automated routines to correct for the presence of image distorting artifacts. • Conducting site suitability analysis tasks and coming up with suitable sites to set up structures. • Conducting least cost path analysis to extract shorter and accessible routes and save on cost and time. • Performing digital elevation modelling to obtain elevation and slope maps. • Geocoding of addresses and reverse geocoding. • Automation of GIS tasks and workflow using Python scripts. • Writing python scripts to clean geographic data collected in the field. • Developing GIS mapping applications and geo-processing tools. • Providing maintenance and support of GIS applications and mapping systems. • Developing web applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. • Creating and styling interactive and dynamic maps using Leaflets, OSM and Google Maps API. • Developing, updating and maintaining GIS databases. • Developing prediction models to assist in depicting trends and patterns on phenomenon.
