Hi! I'm Tyson Okoth,
a GIS Professional and Technology Enthusiast.
About Me
With a Bachelor of Applied Science in GeoInformatics degree. I am a goal-oriented individual with over six (6) years’ of increasingly responsible professional experience demonstrating progressive experience in public
and private sector organizations with demonstrated technical experience in Geospatial Engineering, database management,
Space Technology, data analysis, report writing, and working with various GIS software and leading GIS teams.
In addition to my technical background, I bring proven business development experience translating client

In addition, I also thrive in high-impact teams dedicated to making a significant, positive difference in society.
Projects
A selection of recent projects I've worked on.
This was a fantastic project that combined two of my passions: rugby and mapping. It acts as a story map for the Sevens series circuit 2022. After a two-year break, the National Sevens Series Circuit returned to the rugby athletic calendar, and I thought it would be a good idea for my fellow rugby fans to get pound-for-pound updates and analysis during the series. Enjoy it as much as i did making it!!
Bike Mapping
A project looking into processing, cleaning,
and visualizing huge open datasets, by exploring NYC Bike Share Data.
Huge credits to Citi Bike System Data New York City,
for publishing there bike rides data, this was used as a datasource for the project.
An interactive map depicting the most popular bike stations in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
You can play about with the map and see what year you're interested in.
