About
Twelve years between the field and the pipeline.
I started out running Total Station and GNSS surveys across southern Nigeria, producing cadastral plans and as-built drawings for land registration. From there the work moved onto major construction sites — setting out 40 km of 30-inch mainline from Soku through the Niger Delta swamps to an offshore riser, and the buildings and kidney-shaped party pool of a beachfront resort. That field discipline now underpins a geospatial consulting practice spanning UAV and LiDAR data acquisition, photogrammetric processing, and machine-learning pipelines that turn imagery into land-cover intelligence.
An Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's in Geospatial Technologies — split across Germany, Spain, and Portugal — sharpened the analytical side: spatial statistics, GI science, and Python-based remote sensing, capped by a thesis on least-cost pipeline routing. Today I am based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, working with clients who need survey-grade data delivered as decision-ready products, not just raw point clouds.
