About Me

Hey, Samuel here, you may call me Sam or Sammy just as most friends do. I L❤VE MAPS🌍! Yes, I am a staunch GIS enthusiast and I’m fascinated by the power of maps. I enjoy playing around QGIS and ArcGIS and learning new stuff. I’m an addicted OpenStreetMap contributor and heavily involved in the local, regional and global communities (KNUST YouthMappers, OSM Ghana, OSM Africa, OpenStreetMap Foundation, weeklyOSM Team, and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team).

I currently work in the Data Science field. My career goal is to bridge my interest in GIS and Data Science and become Geospatial Data Scientist. You’ll often find me busily mapping on OpenStreetMap, learning something new or improving my French language skills when I’m free. Or maybe watching one cool video from ColdFusion TV on YouTube.

🎓I am an old boy of Prempeh College and also hold a bachelor’s degree in Development Planning from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
