About
Technical enough to understand the system. Product-minded enough to question it.
I am an Earth-observation programme lead based in Innsbruck, Austria. My work sits between users, geospatial science, engineering and delivery—turning complex capabilities into practical services and clearer product decisions.
Working style
Connecting disciplines without losing sight of the user.
I work comfortably across the boundaries that separate domain experts, data scientists, software engineers, institutional partners and end users. That bridge role helps teams translate needs into credible requirements, delivery plans and product directions.
I remain close to implementation through GIS and EO analysis, Python-based prototyping and cloud-native geospatial concepts. My particular interest is where AI can reduce technical friction while preserving transparency, provenance and human judgement.
Experience
A career moving closer to the full EO value chain.
Programme Lead · Operational Earth Observation Services
Leading a portfolio of operational geospatial services, with responsibility for delivery, planning, risk, stakeholder communication, product direction and coordination across technical and commercial teams.
Project Manager · Product-Oriented EO Lead
Managed multi-stakeholder Earth-observation initiatives and progressively moved into product strategy, technical concept ownership, proposal development and requirements translation.
Geotechnical and Environmental Geoscience
Worked across field investigation, GIS, technical interpretation, client reporting and business-unit coordination before moving into Earth observation.
Education
Master’s in Geography and Environmental Management
Completed with distinction while working full-time. Research focused on land-use and land-cover change around South African national parks.
B.Sc. Honours in Environmental Sciences
Specialisation in environmental geology, following a double major in Geography and Geology.
Professional perspective
Research-grounded, delivery-oriented.
My background combines environmental science, geospatial analysis, technical project delivery and product leadership. This allows me to move between strategic decisions and the practical constraints behind them.
I have also presented Earth-observation and AI work in European professional and institutional settings.
