About
I'm a hydraulic engineer (MSc, TU Delft) with more than six years of experience in flood and climate risk. As a Senior NatCat Engineer I have led national flood and coastal erosion risk assessments, designed parametric flood insurance for vulnerable urban communities, and built risk-screening tools for agricultural lending. Clients include governments, development partners and the private sector across Africa, the Indian Ocean and Latin America.
I take projects from hazard model to decision. I build the hydrologic and hydraulic models, combine them with exposure and vulnerability, and present the result in a form a planner, a risk-finance officer or a loan officer can use.
How I can help
Governments & disaster management agencies
National and local flood risk assessments, hazard maps under current and future climate, and loss estimates that show where to invest in prevention first.
Development partners & humanitarian organisations
Scoping and technical leadership of risk programmes, early warning and anticipatory-action triggers, and capacity building that leaves tools with local teams.
Insurers, reinsurers & risk-finance programmes
Parametric product design: index selection, triggers and payout curves, basis-risk analysis and risk layering.
Lenders, investors & corporates
Portfolio flood and climate risk (annual average loss, high-risk sites), and screening and monitoring tools for agricultural and asset lending.
How I work
- Fit for purpose. I choose the data and model complexity the decision and budget need: global open data where it is good enough, local calibration where it isn't.
- Reproducible and transferable. Open tools and documented Python workflows that local teams can run, update and own after the project ends.
- Decision first. Every output answers a question someone has to act on: where, when, how much, or what first.
- Four working languages. English, French, Spanish and Catalan.
