Computational Hydrologist & Environmental Engineer | GIS & Data Science Automation | Climate-Resilient Water & Resource Solutions
Welcome to my portfolio
I am a hydrologist, environmental engineer, and geospatial data scientist with a PhD in Land, Water & Environment. My expertise lies in combining computational modelling, GIS, and automation to deliver evidence-based solutions for water resources, climate resilience, and sustainable development.
I design and implement high-performance workflows that integrate hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and environmental datasets into scalable models and decision-support systems. My portfolio highlights projects in:
-
Groundwater and surface water interaction modelling under climate change scenarios
-
Real-time water allocation and drought forecasting systems
-
GIS-driven reclamation and carbon capture site evaluation
-
Environmental impact assessments and policy-support analytics

Research Interests
I’m passionate about advancing environmental and water-resources engineering by integrating sustainability, geospatial technology, climate science and policy analysis. My work tackles complex challenges, from land restoration and carbon management to data-driven water-policy evaluation, through physics-based modelling, big-data pipelines and spatial statistics.
Land Restoration & Water-Cycle Integration
Developing 3-D reclamation models under Canadian climatic scenarios, combining rainfall, evapotranspiration and soil-erosion tools to quantify restoration success and groundwater recharge. These insights guide resilient land-restoration designs and support adaptive management in post-mining landscapes.
Hydrological Data Imputation & Uncertainty Analysis
Applying spatial-statistical and machine-learning methods to fill gaps in Canadian streamflow and precipitation records. By enhancing data completeness and quantifying uncertainty, I strengthen the reliability of hydrologic and groundwater models in data-sparse regions.
Water-Policy Performance Evaluation
Integrating license-allocation datasets, groundwater trends and climate projections with spatial statistics to assess policy effectiveness. My recommendations for adaptive regulatory frameworks include advanced monitoring networks and stakeholder-driven licensing criteria to bolster watershed health and groundwater sustainability.
Automated Big-Data Pipelines & Dashboards
Building end-to-end Python/R and FME workflows for real-time ingestion, processing and visualization of hydrologic and emissions data. Interactive dashboards empower decision-makers with actionable insights, accelerating evidence-based policy development and resource-management solutions.
