Ibrahima Sory Diallo, GIS cartographer

Maps, GIS data and training for NGOs, local authorities and FTTH networks. In the field since 2018, in business on my own account since April 2026.

Why work with me

  • Field and GIS, end to end

    GPS and ODK Collect field surveys in Senegal since 2018, FTTH deployment plans in QGIS at Serfim T.I.C. from 2025 to 2026: I know how data is collected in the field and what it has to become in your GIS.

  • Three settings, in practice

    Health, research and open-mapping projects with ENDA Santé, the IRD and HOT; more than six months of continuous FTTH production in the Haut-Doubs; and a published pilot study on the flood exposure of the public car parks of Bernis, France.

  • Your team keeps the data and the skills

    Open formats (GeoPackage, Shapefile, GeoJSON), a QGIS project ready to reopen, sources, date and scale on every map. On request, I train your staff or field teams in QGIS, OpenStreetMap or mobile data collection, in English or French, with Fula or Wolof for field teams.

  • One person, a stated price

    As a sole trader, the person who answers you is the person who does the work. €400 per day, VAT not applicable; the quote sets the scope, lead time and price before any work starts.
