Weldon Ruto

I have gained valuable experience in the field of GIS, mapping, and surveying through my work experiences and attachments. In August 2019, I had the opportunity to do an internal attachment at JKUAT, where I honed my skills in various software and equipment used in GIS and remote sensing. I became proficient in using software such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Eagle Point, ERDAS, and SNAP. These tools allowed me to effectively analyze and visualize geospatial data, create maps, and perform remote sensing tasks. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience in surveying equipment like the theodolite, total station, levels, and GPS. This attachment laid a solid foundation for my understanding of geospatial technologies.

In March 2020, I embarked on an external attachment at the Survey of Kenya, specifically in the Bomet County Survey Offices. During this attachment, I further developed my skills in land surveying, GIS, and remote sensing. I acquired practical knowledge in using GPS for data collection, theodolite for accurate measurements, and various techniques for dividing and amalgamating land parcels. Determining boundaries between land parcels and filling out mutation forms became second nature to me. I also learned the important administrative tasks of arranging mutation forms and RIMs, as well as digitizing form plans for effective record-keeping and analysis.

Throughout these experiences, I have become proficient in handling a wide range of surveying equipment and using software such as AutoCAD, GPS, and theodolite. These technical skills, combined with my understanding of GIS, mapping, and remote sensing principles, have equipped me with a comprehensive knowledge base in geospatial technology. I am confident in my ability to contribute to projects that require data analysis, map creation, and accurate surveying. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to solve complex spatial problems and make informed decisions based on geospatial information.

During my work experience, I gained valuable skills in various areas. From August to October 2019, I had an internal attachment at JKUAT, where I focused on GIS, mapping, remote sensing software, and surveying equipment. I became proficient in using tools such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Eagle Point, ERDAS, and SNAP. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience in handling surveying equipment like the theodolite, total station, levels, and GPS.

From March to May 2020, I had an external attachment at the Survey of Kenya in Bomet County Survey Offices. During this period, I further developed my skills in land surveying, GIS, and remote sensing. I learned how to use GPS for data collection and the theodolite for precise measurements. I also acquired expertise in tasks such as land division and amalgamation, determining boundaries between land parcels, filling out mutation forms, arranging mutation forms and RIMs, as well as digitizing form plans. In terms of software, I became proficient in Autocad, Gps, and theodolite operations.

A recent GIS graduate with good grades and am eager to explore more.
