I am a Engineer turned Location Tech Geek who grew up and went at school in Senegal before landing in Quebec on a Canadian scholarship more than a decade ago.

I hold an MBA degree with a major in IT Management from Laval University in Quebec city and a M.Sc. degree in Geomatics and Water Sciences from Quebec’s National Institute of Scientific Research (INRS). Prior to my graduate studies, I had earned a B.Sc. in Geological Engineering at the Earth Sciences Institute of the University of Dakar in Senegal.

I have enjoyed 12 years of experience in Quebec and Ontario (Canada), as Geomatics Director (Axsera Inc.), GIS Specialist (Intrado Inc.), Geomatics Research Professional (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada), Resources Manager and then GIS Analyst (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources), and GIS Officer (BBGL-International) in Laos.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in activities ranging from projects/programs management to needs analysis, development of geospatial databases, digital terrain analysis (DTM/DEM), multisource data collection using GPS devices, automation of processes, spatial data conversion/migration/editing, cartography, geolocation, and Geomatics knowledge transfer.
