I build GIS decision platforms that turn geospatial data into accurate site decisions.
What I'm looking for
I build enterprise GIS systems that turn spatial data into decisions teams can act on. At Jugrafiya, I architected a site-suitability platform scoring 500,000+ geospatial data points across 15+ factors with 92% prediction accuracy.
I’ve built PODS-compliant spatial databases for 500+ km of pipeline infrastructure, ArcGIS Pro add-ins, Experience Builder widgets, and multi-user QGIS workflows. My stack spans ArcGIS, PostGIS, Python, Django, React, Mapbox, H3, and machine learning.
At Centangle Interactive, I launched Arz Intelligence from zero to one, defining its go-to-market strategy, service catalog, delivery pipeline, data standards, and QA workflows. I own solution design from architecture and estimation through risk assessment and delivery planning.
I also taught GIS for more than four years at the Institute of Space Technology and am pursuing PhD research in agentic AI for large-scale geospatial processing. I’m looking to bring full-stack spatial architecture and decision-modeling work to a larger platform, particularly in the Gulf region.
