Senior🎓
Top SchoolIniobong Benson is a geomatics and data science professional with eight years of hands-on experience applying GIS, remote sensing and backend development to real-world flood risk and environmental modelling problems. Based in the Netherlands, he blends field-survey and drone mapping experience with Python automation, PostgreSQL/PostGIS workflows and enterprise geodatabase management to accelerate geospatial production pipelines. As Creator and Co‑Host of Geospatially Africa and former Flood Analyst Lead, he communicates technical insights to both specialist and public audiences while supervising field teams during disaster assessments. His work ranges from validating Delft3D ocean models at Deltares to building LIDAR-derived elevation products and deploying ArcGIS field apps, demonstrating a practical mix of research, product advocacy and operational delivery. Notably, he pairs a formal masters-level education in geoinformatics with software engineering training (Full Stack Nanodegree and a diploma), giving him an uncommon cross-domain fluency between development and applied geoscience.
