Major projects undertaken

GIS Implementation manager for A Turkey Supply and Installation of An Integrated Suite Of Information Systems For The Transmission Company Of Nigeria (TCN), In this task we deployed high availability geospatial enterprise solution for TCN, including Network data gap analysis, data validation and migration, data model development with Oracle database and configuration of ArcFM solution for large utility network data management., Geospatial Intelligences implementation manager for the Nigerian Airforce—Nov 2023 – Dec 2023, In the project I led geospatial analysts’ team from Sambus to deploy ArcGIS enterprise solution and configured operational dashboard with different indicators for the Nigeria Airforce situational awareness., Implementation manager: ArcGIS Enterprise deployment and configuration for Defense Space Administration (DSA)- 2022, Deployment Of Multi-User Geodatabase at The Geospatial Intelligence Fusion and Data Center for DSA- April 2024, Configuration of Operational dashboard and data collection tools for FAO (GeoHub project, Budapest/Austria)- June 2022- Jan 2023, In this project, I developed a pilot case for data collection and operational dashboards with different indicators relevant to FAO GeoHub project activities. Different visualization options were used to effectively present collected data in the operation dashboard and ArcGIS Experience builder. The successful completion of these tasks contributed to the advancement of the GeoHub project, enabling members to leverage geospatial technologies for research and teaching activities., The National Home-Grown School Feeding program: Configuration of Monitoring & Evaluation dashboard and mobile data collection -June-July 2021., I led a team that used ArcGIS Survey123 Connect to create a comprehensive reporting form that was very interactive and easy to fill. The form replaced the paper form previously in use and the responses were presented in an ArcGIS Dashboard. Interestingly, the majority of the target audience were accessing the dashboard using a mobile phone and this led to configuration of a separate dashboard for mobile screens. The dashboards were intuitive and were immensely improved using Arcade Expressions functionality. After the implementation of this project, the authorities were able to be ascertained through empirical evidence available on the dashboard, that the school feeding program is a success., Liberia Census Pre-Enumeration Mapping: (Software deployment, Configuration and Training for UNFPA/LISGIS).
