Derrick Demeveng MEng, MSc
Spatial Data Scientist at the intersection of population, climate change and service accessibility analytics
About
I build the analytics, pipelines and maps that tell decision makers where people are, what they can reach, and where risk concentrates.
Today I'm Programme Specialist for Geospatial Analysis at UNFPA. Before that I spent five years with WHO's Regional Office for Africa, first as a GIS analyst for polio surveillance and then as the data analyst running laboratory ETL and data quality for 16 labs across 47 countries. My earlier work covered open spatial data infrastructure, disaster-risk mapping for the World Bank and GIZ, and geodetic surveying in Cameroon.
I hold an MSc in Spatial Data Science from Penn State, a Professional Certificate in Data Engineering from MIT and an MEng in Land Surveying. I work in English and French, and I author ODKConnector, a published QGIS plugin.
