IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a GIS Analyst with a postgraduate degree in Environmental Science and over two years of hands-on experience in GIS mapping and spatial data analysis. My proficiency in tools like ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro, and a foundational understanding of QGIS allows me to effectively contribute to research, planning, and development projects. I am passionate about working with maps, satellite imagery, and geospatial datasets, and I thrive in both independent and collaborative environments.
Currently, I am employed as a GIS Specialist at the Directorate of Environment and Climate Change in Kerala, where I focus on identifying and verifying the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) status of various locations. My previous role as a GIS Technician at the Centre for Social and Resource Development involved digitizing GPS data and creating asset maps for local government planning. My academic background includes a GIS-based research project that analyzed the impact of land use changes on land surface temperature, showcasing my ability to apply GIS techniques to real-world environmental issues.
