Welcome to my portfolio!
In my portfolio, I showcase some of the projects I have worked on, my data skills and achievements. I enjoy using the insight of data to solve problems, I use data and geospatial science techniques to achieve my objectives. I finally present the results through dashboards, maps and written reports. I hope you find some of my projects insightful, I would be happy to discuss them in more detail. Connect with me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/k-alw/ .
Best regards,
Khaled Alwithinani
About me
Current title:
I am an engineer specialising in data and geospatial science, I connect people and improve communication between teams. My analytical background enables me to make decisions using the insights of data and share insights with the rest of the team. I collect information and come up with strategies that could direct individuals to where they fit best to ensure maximum performance for a given project.
I have an immense passion for working with data and I would love to continue on that path. For example, I used object detection to detect palm trees and then ran an analysis to check the palm trees’ health, using this technique allows farmers to quickly scan a vast landscape to identify the health of their vegetation. My skills are highly transferable as I know how to derive insights through different types of data. You can check examples for my projects at this link https://k-alwi.wixsite.com/geospatial-engineer/blog.

Education Background:
Data guru🔮, I hold an MSc degree in Engineering Geomorphology, Consultancy and Practice (University of Sussex, UK). I also completed a BEng degree in civil and environmental engineering (University of Brighton, UK) on a Saudi Arabia government scholarship that was awarded to me for my outstanding performance in Survey Technology at the College of Technology (Taif, Saudi Arabia) 👨🏻🎓
To prove my passion for data science I obtained 60+ certificates tackling different aspects in the world of data, some of these certificates are presented in my portfolio, DataCamp profile and Credly :

What I am looking for:
I am interested mostly in companies and projects where I can collect and analyse data to help in making data-driven decisions 🧠 or deploy machine learning models to solve business or environmental problems. I love to use data creatively and make new approaches, ideally, I like to work with companies, where they share the passion for tech-related topics, video games or the environment, which would fit well with my career aspirations. Additionally, I believe that working in a company that doesn't consider the insight of geospatial analysis would allow me to initiate projects and new ideas where the insights of geospatial analysis can add a lot of value to the company📈
Interests
Next to my data and geospatial science skills, I am a certified personal trainer and I am into nutrition and mindfulness as I believe if I know how to take care of myself then I will know how to take care of the world 💪 I invest a lot of my time educating myself to improve what I believe the main three aspects of life Relationship, Wellbeing and Career 🙏🏻
I love dancing and I have done many dance performances in the UK in both popping and salsa dance and currently learning Ballroom in Finland💃 🕺
I admire the fast development of technology and I like to keep up with it, both in education and entertainment. Technology is our most visible and practical achievement and has undeniably improved our life🤖
