Amaechi Charanchi

Hi, I’m Amaechi Charanchi, a Flood Risk Management Officer with a passion for building climate-resilient communities through data-driven environmental planning and management. Since January 2025, I’ve been working with a tier 2 local government to deliver sustainable drainage solutions, manage critical flood and water infrastructure, and provide expert geo-spatial advice. My work bridges the gap between geospatial science and real-world impact—whether it’s through coordinating drainage asset programmes or supporting emergency planning initiatives. I hold a Master’s degree in Flood Risk Management from the University of Hull and a Bachelor’s in Urban and Regional Planning. My journey before this role includes several years as a GIS Analyst and Cadastre Officer, where I led teams, streamlined systems using GIS and Python, and supported high-profile land administration and mapping projects across Nigeria. My core strengths lie in: • Flood risk & drainage analysis • Spatial data management & modelling • GIS applications (ArcGIS, QGIS, HEC-RAS, Google Earth Pro) • Stakeholder collaboration & team leadership • Sustainable development & urban planning I’m always eager to connect with fellow professionals, researchers, and organisations working at the intersection of environmental data, infrastructure, and resilience.
