What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to apply my geospatial skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative projects that drive urban development and infrastructure planning.

I am a Master’s candidate in Geodesy and Geoinformation Science at the Technical University Berlin, specializing in Geoinformation Science. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of GIS, spatial analysis, and advanced programming in Python. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills and research experience to contribute to innovative geospatial technology solutions.

Currently, I work as a Working Student at OXG Glasfaser GmbH, where I perform comprehensive geographical data analysis using QGIS for optical fiber network deployment. My role involves developing automated Python models to enhance workflow efficiency and conducting strategic cost-benefit analyses for network expansion projects. Previously, I served as a Project Assistant at Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology, where I led airport master planning initiatives and collaborated with engineering teams to integrate spatial analysis into transportation planning.
