ABOUT DANISH AHMAD
Hi, I’m Danish Ahmad, a Geoinformatics Engineer with a passion for using spatial technology to solve real-world problems. I work at the intersection of GIS analysis, web development, and automation, turning complex geospatial data into clear, interactive, and decision-driven systems.Over the last few years, I’ve developed expertise in Python-based automation, spatial databases, and web GIS development. My goal is simple: make spatial data smarter, faster, and easier to use for governments, organizations, and communities.During my Mitacs Globalink Research Project in Regina, Canada, I developed a WebGIS dashboard for the City’s Health Department. The system mapped food deserts and visualized accessibility using live planners make quick, data-driven decisions. I built it end-to-end using Python, Mapbox GL JS, React, and a remote PostGIS database, automating the entire geospatial preprocessing pipeline.Before that, at Pakistan National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), I worked on two national-scale projects:A Flood Prediction Web Portal showing vulnerable sites and predicted inundation zones.A Spatio-Temporal Snow Analysis Dashboard powered by satellite imagery and real-time data from NASA APIs.Both platforms made it easier for officials to assess risks and respond faster to natural disasters.At the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Islamabad-Rawalpindi, I led a LiDAR-based drone survey, processed 3D point clouds, and built a “drone-to-web” workflow using GeoServer and Python automation—cutting manual processing time by more than 50%.I enjoy building systems that connect real-world data to real-world impact:Problem → Spatial Data → Analysis → Dashboard → Smarter Decisions.Core Competencies & Technological skills:ArcGIS Suite QGIS Python (ArcPy, GeoPandas, GDAL, pytorch, Tensorflow ) SQL / PostGIS JavaScript (Leaflet, Mapbox, ArcGIS API JS) React | Node.js FME GeoServer REST APIs Cloud GIS (Azure/AWS) Git Docker Tableau Power BI LiDAR & Remote SensingI’m motivated by how geospatial technology can improve by planning smarter cities, managing disasters, or driving sustainability.If you’re looking for someone who can combine GIS analysis, web development, and automation to deliver meaningful geospatial solutions, I’d love to connect.
