About Pius
Geospatial Scientist with extensive experience in Earth Observation, climate analytics, and environmental modelling. Specialised in processing satellite datasets (e.g., CHIRPS, GPM, TRMM, Sentinel, Landsat), developing machine learning models for ecological and climate applications, and building scalable workflows using Python and Google Earth Engine. Experienced in both academic research and operational geospatial projects, with a strong focus on climate resilience, forest monitoring, and hydro-ecological systems. With intercontinental experience, working in Africa and Europe, I now seek geospatial data science and remote sensing roles across research institutes, environmental agencies, and industries.
