About

Solutions Architect | Geospatial Data Scientist | AI/ML Manager: Providing unique insight and solutions to real problems. u00b7 Iu2019m a Data Scientist with a unique insight for developing solutions by utilising my Geospatial Engineering skills. Iu2019ve recently changed my career direction from GIS to Data Science. The transferable skills that I bring are Programming, Quantitative Analysis, Product Intuition, Communication and Teamwork, which I'll explain below.nnProgramming:nHaving a strong background in programming is essential, when dealing with large datasets on a daily basis. I have developed tools that allow me to provide solutions to complex engineering problems. Of the tools that Iu2019ve developed, the one generates feature pipelines for determining hydrological analysis.nnQuantitative Analysis:nThe geoHydro package derives hydrological derivatives from complex terrain models using various flow routing algorithms. The interdependency of the intermediate derived results can lead to error propagation, whi
