A little context

For nine years I have worked at the point where earth observation meets public policy — currently as Senior Research Officer at icddr,b, building cholera outbreak-risk prediction and early warning systems under a Wellcome Trust grant. Before that I supported IOM's Risk Index for Climate Displacement at the Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok, and delivered SERVIR-HKH services in Bangladesh with ICIMOD.

What makes the work useful is that it does not stop at the analysis. I build the web application that puts it in front of decision-makers, and I design the atlas that goes into the report. Most people in this field do one of those three things.

Two MSc degrees — Computer Science and Engineering, and Geography and Environment — which is the short explanation for why I can both model it and build it.

I work on flood and disaster risk, climate vulnerability and displacement, air quality and urban heat, land use change, spatial epidemiology and agricultural suitability. Open to remote consulting and full-time remote roles with research institutions, UN agencies and geospatial technology companies.
