Hi! I'm Tyson Okoth,
a GIS Developer.
About Me
I have a Bachelor of Applied Science in GeoInformatics and have worked with companies in Eastern Africa. I have a strong understanding of GIS technology and am proficient in using ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, PostgreSQL with the PostGIS extension, and Python. Throughout my career, I have held various roles such as GIS Specialist, Imagery Solutions Executive, Technical Support Executive, and Research Assistant in the field of geospatial technology. This has given me a solid foundation in GIS, remote sensing, mapping, and spatial data analysis, as well as an in-depth understanding of the technical and business aspects of the industry.
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.
