Currently working in Herald Analytics: - Processing and quality-check high-resolution satellite imagery (sub-0.5 m) covering 500+ km² per project cycle for deep learning object detection pipelines. – Building annotated training datasets from satellite imagery for deep learning models, improving labeling throughput by ~40% through semi-automated workflows. – Deploying GDAL, Geopandas, and SAM-based GeoAI pipelines that reduce manual digitizing time by over 60% compared to traditional workflows. – Manageing and version 10+ concurrent geodatabases, ensuring data integrity and on-time delivery across all active projects 1. Worked in TechGIS as a GIS Analyst and Developer: - Led development of 3 production geospatial web applications using GeoServer, PostGIS, and JavaScript, serving internal and client-facing mapping needs. – Integrated ML predictive mapping models into live WebGIS platforms, reducing manual spatial analysis time by approximately 35%. – Automated repetitive GIS workflows with Python (GDAL, Geopandas, Shapely), cutting data processing overhead by 50%+ across recurring tasks. – Received Best Performance Award from JABS Pvt. Ltd. (USA) for outstanding contributions to remote sensing deliverables across multiple projects. 2. Contributed to geospatial projects at SpatialOX, gaining hands-on experience in spatial data management, web mapping, and WebGIS development. 3. Worked at the Pakistan Meteorological Department, and National Drought Monitoring Center, analyzing Drought Indices (TVDI, SDCI, SMCI, SPEI, and more), PMD station data, and crop water requirements for drought assessment and mitigation strategies. 4. Conducted independent projects on drought analysis, glacier monitoring, and vegetation assessment in Pakistan and China, sharpening skills in remote sensing and environmental monitoring. I'm excited about opportunities that allow me to apply my GIS and Remote Sensing expertise to meaningful environmental initiatives. 𝗠𝗬 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗦: 1. Exploring more and more advanced techniques for Automation and deployment of Geospatial Data on the web. 2. Engaging in collaborative projects that address Geospatial Data Development through AI (Mask R-CNN, GNNs).
