What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and teamwork, with opportunities for growth in GIS.

As a Technical Lead with extensive experience in GIS, I have honed my skills in problem definition, modeling, and project execution tailored to client needs. My journey began as a GIS Executive, where I developed a strong foundation in database management and land use mapping. Over the years, I have successfully led teams, ensuring quality control and fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation.

Currently, I am leading R&D initiatives for GIS business development at ATAGeospatial. My role involves not only managing a talented team but also consulting with clients to deliver exceptional results. My academic background in Geography, complemented by a PG Diploma in Remote Sensing and GIS, equips me with the knowledge and expertise to tackle complex geospatial challenges. I am passionate about continuous self-development and aspire to become a GIS subject expert.
