Agronomist & Remote Sensing Analyst
Welcome to my e-Portfolio, I am pleased to have you here!
Remote Sensing Analyst with over 4 years experience
About Me
Professional Overview
I'm a Remote Sensing Analyst with over 4 years experience. My area of expertise is notably focused on GIS and Earth Observation (EO) Systems for Agriculture, Forest and biodiversity monitoring, a passion which emerged during my final year of undergraduate studies, while validating biophysical parameters in agronomic crops based on satellite imagery. It includes the collection and validation of spatial data and development of models that generate data to support decision-making in natural resource management and precision agriculture based on satellite and UAV imagery and also extends to knowledge transfer, training and empowering communities in biodiversity monitoring through participatory spatial data for community based natural resources management, measuring and analyzing biodiversity losses and adeptly measure biophysical parameters in local forests based on geospatial data.
I have a passion for research design and monitoring, evaluation & Learning (MEL), which gives me a chance to be a lifelong learner through the lessons from the reality and experience of every single project.
“Every project is an opportunity to learn and grow, transforming data into actionable insights for sustainable development.”

Training & Skills Transfers
"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world"
— Nelson Mandela
Moved by the quote above, I use part of my time to share and/or transfer skills to the youth and the upcoming generations.
Precision Agriculture with Drones
This training on Precision Agriculture with Drones was provided by Mozambique Flying Labs, focusing on the application of drone technology for agricultural monitoring and management.
Kobo ToolBox for Data Collection and Data Management
This training was provided to final-year students from Pungue University by Mozambique Flying Labs, as part of our mission of inclusive digital transformation in the country. The students were provided with material on principles of quantitative research, data collection through mobile devices, and data management. The two-day training consisted of theoretical and practical components, allowing students to improve in a realistic field context of data collection.
Google Earth Engine Webinar
In this public webinar organized by Mozambique Flying Labs, our objective was to demonstrate in practice how data from Earth observation systems can be used for informed decision-making in various sectors through datasets available on this powerful remote sensing platform.
Google My Maps For Flood Mapping
The Google My Maps training for mapping flooded areas was part of the Space4ALL project, which aimed to empower members of local communities in flood-prone neighborhoods in the cities of Beira and Chimoio in Mozambique and Kisumu in Kenya. This training aimed to empower community members to generate and share data on floods, as well as a history of critical locations in their neighborhoods, enabling the reception of detailed information on flood history in these intervention areas of the Space4ALL project and validating the flood early warning model.
Sustainable Natural Resources Management
This training was provided to 5 communities Gorongosa National buffer zone, Park as part of the community-led natural resources management through participatory spatial data project conducted by Data4MOZ and funded by USAID.
Community Governance
The training in community governance was aimed at 17 newly established community committees by Data4MOZ in the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park (BANP), with the goal of improving community participation and involvement when it comes to establishing norms that impact the lives of the communities residing in the archipelago.
