WHAT I DO

My experience is a realization of progressive capacity building through certificate courses and hands-on practice across multiple domains including academia, software and agriculture.

Geospatial Analysis

I perform intensive spatial analysis to study the relationships existing between features by employing multi-criteria, geostatistical, and machine learning approaches to aid decision-making.

Geodatabase Management

I develop complex yet flexible spatial database systems to effectively hold and query spatial layers for various applications.

Software Development

I build user-friendly database-driven web apps using Python/Django or PHP, with the integration of web maps using Geoserver and Leaflet, and mobile development using Android.

Workflow Automation

Manual repetitive tasks are tedious and time consuming. I use R,Python or FME to automate workflows that eliminate manual workloads to boost productivity.

Machine Learning

To handle complex and non-linear relationships, I employ Machine Learning and Ensemble ML algorithms in predictive modelling tasks.

Cartography

I use different forms of maps to clearly communicate the analysis results to the target audience. Samples can be seen in the portfolio section.

Isaac Newton Kissiedu is among the best in the field of Geospatial engineering that I have worked with during my time in KNUST, from 2010 to 2014. He is always available to help others in all aspects of computer programming and GIS-related task when needed and strives for excellence while being a valuable team player. His strong knowledge and understanding in the field of Remote sensing, GIS and Geospatial analysis with a wide variety of computer programing languages and applications coupled with years of industry experience make him a valuable member to work with. He is well focused and delivers quality work and I can easily say "he is one of the best in his field." I highly recommended him to any employer looking for his service.

I worked with Isaac Newton at the International Fertilizer Development Center in Accra, Ghana. Isaac was a co-author of my project “Determination of Fertilizer Cost Components and their Effects on Final Fertilizer Prices and the Chain in Ghana”. He was the Geographic Information System (GIS) specialist and helped with the geospatial fertilizer price visualization across Ghana. Isaac is a highly skilled data analyst and GIS specialist, he is a team player and has excellent interpersonal skills which make him fun to work with.

I have known Isaac for the past 8 years, He is a talented Programmer, Professional Geospatial Engineer and very detailed-oriented person. He is one of the people had always learned a thing or two each time we have a conversation. we have worked on projects together and he always brings out the very best and ensures the work is executed properly. I will recommend Newton for any project or job on any day or time.

Isaac Newton Kissiedu is a professional with high qualities. Out of his very busy schedule at IFDC-FERARI, he taught me and my colleagues R Programming during my internship. His support was very helpful for me and he made R coding very easy to understand. I was able to do my regression analysis and created a yield map of rice and soybean using Random Forest machine learning in R, under his supervision. Isaac always strives to beat expectations. His leadership, talent, and composure are very rare to find which makes him a great asset to any employer.

Isaac was my supervisor at IFDC for six months during my master internship. The least I can say is that I was fortunate to work with Isaac. He is an expert in a number of fields such as spatial database, Geospatial analysis, and programming. I have learned a lot of things that I will never forget from Isaac. Besides his expertise, he was a very open minded person, he has the ability to build strong relationships with anyone and that is because he takes the effort to provide assistance and help at any time and under any circumstances. Working with Isaac made a lot of tasks easier for me. Especially when it was about programming and automating LINTUL-1 to simulate the potential yield in Ghana.
