GIS Analyst at PDMA Punjab mapping flood risk across 41 districts and developing interactive GIS dashboards.

At the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) Punjab, I lead flood and multi-hazard mapping for Punjab’s five rivers and 41 districts. My work includes exposure layers for evacuation planning, district-to-mauza cadastral mapping, and province-wide land-cover classification.

I also develop interactive GIS dashboards using Leaflet, Mapbox GL, JavaScript, and Plotly, connected to GeoServer and PostGIS-backed Python services. In freelance work, I mapped 2,400+ cadastral parcels, analyzed waste-collection routes with an approximately 18% reduction, and mapped a 480 km canal network in Cholistan.
