GIS Engineer | Remote Sensing & Geospatial Analyst | Skilled in ArcGIS, QGIS, ERDAS, Python | Passionate about Sustainable Solutions

About

As a dedicated GIS Engineer with hands-on research and practical experience in remote sensing, spatial analysis, and geospatial modeling, I bring a strong foundation in leveraging geographic data to solve environmental and infrastructural challenges. During research internships at Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology and GB Pant Institute, I contributed to impactful projects including: 📌 Glacier mass balance analysis and its impact on sea-level rise 📌 Land use/land cover (LULC) change detection in cold desert Himalayan regions I’m skilled in tools like ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, ERDAS Imagine, and techniques including FCC, NDVI, supervised/unsupervised classification, and Python-based geodata processing. My goal is to join forward-thinking organizations that harness the power of GIS to improve urban planning, disaster management, and climate resilience. 🔧 Core Competencies: Spatial Analysis & Cartography Remote Sensing & Image Processing Python for Geospatial Workflows ArcGIS StoryMaps & Web GIS GPS & DGPS Data Collection Environmental & Climate Studies

Work experience

Field Surveyor at Home Department, Chandigarh, Aug 2025 - Present · 10 mos, Chandigarh, India, Conducting field surveys for urban infrastructure and development projects using modern surveying equipment (Rover, ETS, GPS). Responsible for building footprint data collection and geo-referenced mapping to support the Chandigarh Administration. Collaborating with project teams to ensure accuracy, quality, and timely completion of assigned survey work.

Research Intern at WADIA INSTITUTE OF HIMALAYAN GEOLOGY DEHRADUN, Jan 2025 - Apr 2025 · 4 mos, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, Project Title: “Accelerating Glacier Mass Loss and Rising Sea Level: A Study from the Indian Himalaya” Conducted glacier mass balance analysis using multi-temporal satellite data and digital elevation models (DEMs) to assess glacier retreat trends in the Indian Himalaya. Developed and implemented Python scripts for the quantification of geodetic mass balance and estimation of the corresponding sea level rise contribution. Processed remote sensing datasets using ArcGIS Pro and ERDAS Imagine for data preparation and visualization. Generated comparative spatial outputs and charts to communicate glacier area, volume, and elevation change over time. Collaborated with scientific mentors and contributed to project reporting and spatial data interpretation

Research Intern at GB pant National Institute of himalayan environment, Jun 2024 - Jul 2024 · 2 mos, Himachal Pradesh, India, Project Title: “Investigating Decadal Trends in Land Use and Land Cover in the Cold Desert Region of Himachal Pradesh” Analyzed LULC changes from 2000 to 2020 using satellite imagery and performed temporal comparisons using QGIS and ArcGIS. Applied NDVI, change detection, and classification techniques to identify land degradation and human-environment interactions. Integrated socio-environmental data with geospatial outputs to assess vulnerability and impact of climate change on high-altitude ecosystems. Presented findings through thematic maps, visual dashboards, and summary reports.
