CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At Ofogh Gostar Company, I maintained GIS datasets for land use and navigation mapping projects. I digitized features and processed vector and raster data from satellite imagery and aerial photographs.
I checked project databases for accuracy, completeness, and consistency, correcting errors and reviewing maps, tables, and reports before delivery to corporate and government clients.
At Hezareh Sevom Company, I updated land use maps using satellite imagery and GIS software, prepared spatial datasets, and reviewed data for accuracy and completeness. At Tam Iran Khodro Automotive Company, I produced and maintained navigation maps and performed routing and network analysis.
My earlier work included processing satellite imagery for agricultural analysis at Iran System Company and updating land use maps at Doorngar Company. I’m interested in applying my GIS domain expertise to structured review and evaluation of AI-generated geospatial content.
