01 · Profile

Built to map, measure, and improve.

I’m a Geomatics Engineering student interested in how accurate spatial information can guide better infrastructure, resource, and community decisions. My work blends field awareness, technical problem-solving, and clear team communication.

⌖

Spatial systems

GIS, GNSS, photogrammetry, point clouds, and spatial-data workflows that turn measurements into useful insight.

◫

Autonomous mapping

Integrating LiDAR, RTK-GNSS, and IMU sensors for SLAM, terrain reconstruction, and robotic navigation.

↗

Technical leadership

Coordinating teams, testing prototypes, resolving design issues, and keeping multidisciplinary work moving.

02 · Selected work

Projects with real-world coordinates.

From autonomous terrain mapping to underwater robotics, these projects are where I apply engineering concepts, learn across disciplines, and solve practical problems.
