@maheshjadav
I am a senior GIS program manager specializing in remote sensing and geospatial automation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a seasoned geospatial professional with over 19 years' experience in GIS, remote sensing, and data analysis, focused on delivering actionable insights for ecological restoration and socio-economic development.
I have led complex geospatial projects across eight states, partnered with organisations such as The Nature Conservancy and IIT, and pioneered platforms that consolidate socio-economic and environmental datasets; I automated the Composite Landscape Assessment and Restoration Tool (CLART) with Python to eliminate manual effort and improve efficiency.
My technical practice spans SAR and DEM analysis, multi-temporal LISS, Sentinel and Landsat imagery, Google Earth Engine scripting, PostgreSQL, GeoServer, MapStore, and OSGeoLive platforms; I routinely integrate high-resolution imagery and terrain data for resource mapping, change detection, and species distribution modelling.
I bring a blend of project management, mentoring, stakeholder engagement, and a commitment to open-access geospatial solutions; I seek to apply automation and rigorous geospatial methods to deliver high-quality, impact-oriented products for mission-driven organisations.
