About this gig

You want to know how an area changed between two dates: vegetation lost or gained, land cleared or developed, before and after a fire or a flood.


I pull open satellite imagery (Sentinel-2 at 10 m, or Landsat for history back to the 1980s), choose same season low cloud scenes so clouds and seasonality do not fake a result, coregister them, and measure the change in real units. You get a clear change map, the changed area in hectares and percent, the exact scene dates, and the limits stated plainly (for example, in dry country vegetation index also tracks rainfall, not only land change).


This is defensible remote sensing on cited open data, fully reproducible, not a black box. Send me the area (a bounding box or a place) and the two dates and I will tell you what the imagery can honestly support.

I am a senior engineer and inventor (13 US patents) who delivers verified geospatial data, maps, and automation. I pair modern, AI-accelerated tooling with real engineering discipline, so you get results fast and can trust every one: numeric accuracy reports, reproducible workflows, and honest limits stated plainly, never eyeballed or fudged. Typical work: CAD or DWG to GIS georeferencing, satellite change detection, interactive web maps, data cleaning and ETL, and cartographic production. Send me the problem and I will tell you what the data can honestly support.
