About

I turn satellite, SAR, UAV, and GIS data into decisions that people can actually use. Across 5+ years in government, research, and enterprise geospatial environments—including HARSAC, MNIT, BISR, ISRO, and Esri India—I’ve built geospatial solutions for agriculture, water resources, environmental monitoring, and urban systems. My work spans Earth observation, SAR analytics, UAV mapping, LiDAR QA, Google Earth Engine, ArcGIS, spatial modeling, and geospatial automation using Python and JavaScript. I’m most valuable where raw spatial data has to become a working system. That has included improving SAR-based crop classification accuracy by ~15%, supporting UAV-led monitoring for illegal mining and canal water diversions, building web GIS platforms for LULC, demolition, and water mapping. What differentiates me is range with depth: I can work across sensor data, analytics, web GIS, enterprise platforms, and stakeholder communication without losing sight of the real goal—decision-ready intelligence. I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Remote Sensing & GIS focused on groundwater vulnerability assessment using machine learning and geospatial modeling. I’m especially interested in roles at the intersection of Earth observation, geospatial applications, climate and water intelligence, and urban analytics.
