Mapping Kenya, one layer at a time

I am a final-year BSc. Geospatial Information Science student at Maseno University, graduated in 2025. My work sits at the intersection of spatial analysis, cartography and real-world problem solving.

During my attachment at Ardhi House, Trans-Nzoia, I digitised cadastral records for hundreds of parcels-work that directly improved land administration in the county.

My dissertation on GIS in Transport Management in Kisumu County earned a Second Class Upper and was presented to county roads planners. I am now seeking internship opportunities to apply these skills professionally.
