I supervised Faith Muchembi in a 6 months project by Where Geospatial to develop a GIS data collection tool. Given her creativity and ability to meet defined goals, she would be a great asset to any employer.

I have worked with Faith closely, within various projects (http://top.ttcanc.org/gis_staging). She is smart, innovative and resourceful person. We still work together, as i subcontract her on my various personal Geo-spatial projects. I would therefore recommend Faith to you.

      1. Conducting analysis of agricultural schemes in Kenya, Egypt, the Jordan Valley, and Yemen to detect trends in productivity, identify issues within irrigation schemes, monitor interventions, utilizing WaPOR, Python, and Google Earth Engine, and continually work together with irrigation managers to arrive at informed solutions. specific tasks include: o Estimating water productivity trends in irrigated agriculture i.e. water productivity actual evapotranspiration, reference evapotranspiration, potential evapotranspiration, water adequacy within irrigation schemes, water uniformity, and relative water deficit. o Assessing and estimating land productivity potential in irrigated agriculture through estimation of net primary production, gross biomass, total biomass, and yield estimation. o Ensuring the accuracy of spatial data analysis outcomes by assessing the discrepancies between remotely sensed data and in situ data o Visualizing and reporting spatial data by creating interactive dashboards, maps, and easy-to-understand charts o Delivering training sessions aimed at instructing individuals on the effective utilization of the WaPOR database for Water and Land Productivity. 2. Engaging with stakeholders in the agriculture and water sectors Engaging with stakeholders in the agriculture and water sectors, including but not limited to the National Irrigation Authority (with a particular focus on assessing the irrigation scheme performance), the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Water, Sanitation, and Irrigation. The goal is to identify their specific priorities and opportunities, subsequently devising tools and solutions to address their challenges, ultimately enhancing agricultural production and efficient water utilization. 3. Supporting land restoration projects by developing customized monitoring and evaluation tools utilizing GIS, RS, GEE, and drone mapping technologies Show less

      - Web development: Designed and developed the user interface for the inaugural iteration of a data collection application utilizing ReactJS and Leaflet – an accessible resource. This application was intended for university scholars, facilitating the gathering and visualization of spatial data during their academic research endeavors. - Web development: Designed and developed the user interface for the inaugural iteration of a data collection application utilizing ReactJS and Leaflet – an accessible resource.

      - Mapping and Database Management: Enhanced topographic maps through the identification of land-use changes, encompassing alterations in land, roads, buildings, and water drainage patterns. These updates were aimed at refining the digital object registration system utilized by the Netherlands’ infrastructure management authority. Additionally, I contributed by mapping building footprints within the Cepiring and Ngampel districts of Central Java, Indonesia. This initial phase laid the foundation for creating an asset management system tailored to the Indonesian context. - Technologies - ArcMap, Google Maps, AutoCAD, Street-smart Show less
