@ubaidullahikram
Geo-informatics and GIS developer building web GIS, digital twins, and GeoAI tools with strong geospatial engineering and ML skills.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Geo-informatics engineer who applies geospatial engineering to build practical, high-impact GIS products. I work across web GIS application development, natural resource management, climate change, machine learning, disaster management, urban dynamics, and water resources.
In my current GIS Developer role, I developed a 3D basemap of Saudi Arabia by integrating LiDAR, imagery, and vector datasets for digital twin and smart city use cases. I designed custom spatial analysis tools for asset management, network tracing, and geospatial decision-making workflows, and I optimized 3D visualization for high-performance rendering.
I also build end-to-end geospatial systems: from frontend map experiences using ArcGIS Map API to backend data storage, processing, and retrieval with ArcGIS Server and Oracle. I’ve implemented robust validation, error-checking, and access control, and I’ve provided technical support and training so users can effectively adopt the tools.
Across remote and freelance projects, I focus on scalable geospatial delivery—vector/raster tiling pipelines, caching strategies, 3D tiles, and quantized mesh techniques for real-time rendering. I’m motivated to be part of teams that develop holistic solutions to spatial problems, with strong teamwork and a proactive mindset.
