What I'm looking for

I’m looking for GIS and geospatial roles where I can take on real challenges, improve efficiency in daily workflows, and help strengthen an organization—while contributing with remote sensing, GIS development, and practical data handling to motivate teams.

I’m currently developing GIS services at K-Electric (Prime HR), where I create SLDs in ArcFM and handle live-operations workflows. I also work on conversion of AutoCAD to ArcGIS, turning design data into usable geospatial outputs that support daily operations.

I build on strong GIS and remote-sensing foundations through my M.Phil (Space Science) research on “Mapping & Monitoring of Mangroves Forest for Spatio-Temporal Patterns & Trends” using Remote Sensing and a Machine Learning approach with MODIS-NDVI (Sindh, 2002–2022). Alongside my industry work, I’ve served as Visiting Faculty at University of Karachi–ISST, teaching GIS, remote sensing, programming, and digital image processing—because I enjoy taking challenges, improving efficiency, and motivating others.
