MY GIS JOURNEY AND LOOKING FOR MORE INSIGHTS

EzraCheruiyot — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 05:54:43 GMT

Hello everyone,

My name is Ezra Cheruiyot, and I am a BSc graduate in Geospatial Information Science and Remote Sensing from Kenya. I am passionate about GIS and remote sensing and continuously working to strengthen my skills through practical, real-world projects.

Recently, I have been supporting Safina Organization in mapping activities, contributing to spatial data collection and analysis. In addition, I have been working on personal projects focused on hydrological modelling, exploring how GIS and remote sensing can be applied to water resource management and environmental analysis.

I am particularly interested in advancing my knowledge in spatial analysis and solving real-world challenges using GIS tools and ArcGIS technologies.

I would greatly appreciate connecting with professionals and fellow learners in this community. I am open to guidance, collaboration, and any advice on improving my projects or growing my career in GIS and remote sensing.

Thank you, and I look forward to engaging with you all!

Best regards,
Ezra Cheruiyot

Great to see this, @Ezra 👏

You’re already doing the right things—real-world mapping + hydrological modeling is exactly where GIS has the greatest impact.

A few practical suggestions as you grow:

Focus on end-to-end workflows → data collection → processing → analysis → decision output
Build 2–3 strong portfolio projects (water risk, flood modeling, watershed analysis)
Combine GIS + data engineering basics (Python, APIs, automation)
Share your work consistently—maps, dashboards, short write-ups

Hydrology + GIS is a powerful niche, especially with climate and water challenges increasing globally.

Keep building. Keep sharing.
Happy to connect and support

Hi Ezra,

Great to connect with you, and thank you for sharing your journey. It’s impressive to see your work in GIS and remote sensing, especially your involvement with mapping activities at Safina Organization and your interest in hydrological modeling.

I recently graduated on May 9th, 2026 with an MBA (GIS focus) and an MS in Computer Technology, and I’m also exploring opportunities in the GIS field.

What has been the most valuable skill or lesson you’ve learned so far from working on real-world GIS projects? I’d really like to learn from your experience.

Looking forward to connecting!

Sincerely,

Krishna Daravath
