GIS and remote sensing analyst at BRAC who developed a national branch-location index using Earth observation and spatial modeling.
What I'm looking for
At BRAC, I conducted nationwide geospatial efficiency and accessibility analysis for approximately 3,200 branches. I developed the Locational Influence Index of Branch in Google Earth Engine, combining Earth observation and spatial data to identify service gaps and candidate locations.
At CEGIS, I developed a national land-use/land-cover database with 100+ feature classes and automated GIS production using Python/ArcPy. My work has also included census mapping, crop-intensity mapping, forest analysis, and climate-risk modeling.
