What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and community impact.

I am a seasoned IT and GIS professional with over two decades of experience in managing and implementing technology solutions for humanitarian support. My journey began with a strong educational foundation in Computer Science, culminating in an M.Sc. from the University of Peshawar. Throughout my career, I have led multidisciplinary teams in various projects, focusing on land administration systems, digital census coordination, and geospatial data management.

My core expertise lies in project design, implementation, and management, particularly in the context of urban and rural planning, climate change analysis, and WASH management. I have successfully developed and deployed interactive dashboards using Power BI, enhancing real-time data visualization for informed decision-making. My commitment to capacity building is evident through my extensive training initiatives, equipping teams with essential geodata handling skills and fostering a culture of continuous learning.

As I seek new opportunities, I am eager to contribute my skills in a dynamic environment that values innovation and collaboration. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to leverage my technical expertise while making a meaningful impact in the community.
