<h2 id="Personal">Summary</h2>
<p>I turn spatial data and environmental models into solutions for water management, carbon accounting, and ecosystem monitoring. With a background in geology and geospatial science and as a co-author of published research, my versatility connects Earth Observation to real-world applications. I have contributed to ESA projects, WWF collaborations, and consulted UK Water utilities, balancing the needs of business, NGO’s, and academia. I solve complex environmental challenges with practical scalable methods whilst developing my scripting and data science skills.</p>
