About Me
I am a graduate of the Masters of Geomatics for Environmental Management (MGEM) program from UBC Forestry. I use various software and coding languages to develop a diverse catalogue of geomatics products to help companies investigate challenging environmental problems. From data visualization, LiDAR analysis, and deep learning model development, I am passionate about problem-solving and environmental stewardship.
