What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a GIS/RS-focused role where I can apply ArcGIS/QGIS, remote sensing, and strong data analysis to solve real-world problems, improve mapping outputs, and grow through clear communication and continuous learning.

I’m a junior GIS engineer who’s passionate about using GIS and remote sensing (RS) to tackle real-world issues. I bring a strong foundation in data analysis and cartography, and I enjoy solving intricate problems with geospatial technologies.

In my current role at Fix COMM Private Limited, I apply geospatial tools and workflows to support decision-making. I’m proficient with ArcGIS, QGIS, and remote sensing methods for extracting meaningful information from geospatial data.

My projects and certificates reflect my focus on practical geospatial outcomes—from LST estimation and vegetation/water index analysis to mangrove and fire-related analysis using Lidar remote sensing techniques. I also worked on “Language Loan Approval Prediction System” using machine learning and explored basic web page development ideas while using GIS.
