Open Source, End-to-End, Production-Grade

A decade and a half of geospatial and software work built almost entirely on open-source tooling. QGIS, PostGIS, QField, GDAL, Python, PHP, Git, and the Linux command line are the daily stack. Proprietary software is a last resort, not a default.

Architecting field-to-dashboard systems: offline-capable mobile apps, spatial databases, PHP REST APIs, and interactive web platforms. Currently contributing to GIS infrastructure at SERHA's transformation unit while developing Ovitracker, a full geospatial surveillance platform, and three independent ventures.

Pursuing an M.Sc. in Management (MIS) at UWI. Holds a pending Certificate in Geomatics and Geospatial Services (HEART-NSTA, Level 2).

Core Discipline

Geographic Information Systems

Spatial analysis, cartography, field data collection, and geodatabase engineering. Open-source stack first, always.

Desktop GIS: QGIS and ArcGIS

Advanced spatial analysis, geoprocessing, custom styling, print layouts, and plugin development in QGIS. Full ArcGIS Pro proficiency including ModelBuilder, ArcPy scripting, and enterprise geodatabases for clients and government environments running the Esri stack.

QGIS 3.x PyQGIS GDAL / OGR ArcGIS Pro ArcPy ModelBuilder

ArcGIS Online and Esri Web Platform

Web maps, dashboards, and StoryMaps via ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS. Feature services, hosted layers, and Operations Dashboard configurations for government and institutional clients who live inside the Esri ecosystem.

ArcGIS Online Portal for ArcGIS ArcGIS Dashboards StoryMaps Feature Services

QField and Field Data Collection

Configuring and deploying QField projects from QGIS for offline field surveys, GPS data capture, form logic, and seamless sync back to PostGIS or file geodatabases. The open-source field workflow from end to end.

QField QFieldCloud ODK / KoboToolbox ArcGIS Survey123

Spatial Databases and PostGIS

Designing PostGIS schemas with spatial indexing, writing complex ST_ geometry queries, spatial joins, buffer/intersection analysis, MySQL spatial extensions, and SpatiaLite for embedded workflows.

PostGIS PostgreSQL MySQL Spatial SpatiaLite GeoServer

Web GIS and Mapping APIs

Interactive web maps with Leaflet and Mapbox GL, GeoJSON data pipelines, WMS/WFS service publication via GeoServer, and tile-layer integrations for live spatial dashboards.

Leaflet.js Mapbox GL GeoJSON WMS / WFS OpenLayers

Hotspot Detection and Risk Modelling

Spatial clustering with DBSCAN, kernel density estimation, heatmap generation, temporal risk scoring, and automated alert triggers using database stored procedures and triggers.

DBSCAN KDE Heatmaps Risk Scoring DB Triggers

Remote Sensing and Raster Analysis

Satellite imagery processing, NDVI and spectral band analysis, raster classification, change detection, and integration of environmental layers into surveillance and monitoring workflows.

GDAL Rasterio NDVI Band Composites SNAP
Engineering

Mobile and Software Development

Cross-platform mobile apps, PHP REST APIs, data pipelines, React dashboards, and geospatial platforms built for real-world field conditions.

PHP and REST API Engineering

PHP-based REST APIs with structured routing, RBAC, JWT authentication, GeoJSON endpoints, database trigger automation, and clean JSON response layers consumed by web and mobile clients.

PHP 8 REST APIs JWT Auth RBAC Laravel

Cross-Platform Mobile Development

React Native and Expo for offline-capable field apps with QR scanning, GPS capture, SQLite local storage, and OTA sync. Flutter for high-performance cross-platform alternatives.

React Native Expo Flutter SQLite OTA Sync

React.js Dashboards and Frontend

Component-driven dashboards with live charts, filterable data tables, role-based UI, integrated Leaflet maps, and PDF/CSV export. Clean, maintainable component architecture.

React.js Chart.js Recharts Leaflet Tailwind

Data Visualisation and Analytics

Interactive charts, temporal trend analysis, spatial heatmaps, stat summary panels, and automated reporting pipelines with PDF and CSV output from both web and backend contexts.

Recharts D3.js Chart.js Plotly Power BI

Python Data Engineering

Ingestion pipelines, multi-source ETL, schema design, CSV and geospatial dataset processing, normalization, and automation. Geopandas and Shapely for spatial data manipulation in Python.

Python Pandas Geopandas SQLAlchemy Flask

Systems Architecture and Security

Multi-tier architectures with RBAC, audit logging, environment config separation, API key management, input sanitisation, and validation layers for production geospatial systems.
