Shahzad B.

As a GIS Consultant specializing in Geospatial Data and Web Mapping, I bring over 8 years of expertise in developing and implementing cutting-edge GIS solutions. My proficiency spans both commercial GIS software (ArcGIS, Erdas Imagine, AutoCAD) and open-source tools (QGIS, PostgreSQL, Geoserver, TileStache). I excel in Cartography, Interactive Maps, and Spatial Databases, particularly with PostgreSQL and PostGIS. I have a proven track record in guiding clients through the architecture design of geospatial solutions, selecting the optimal technology stack for robust and scalable implementations. My experience includes recommending and integrating open-source solutions to accelerate development, and training developers on GIS-related tasks to ensure seamless project execution. Key Skills and Achievements: Vector and Raster Tiling: Expert in using open-source technologies like TileServer GL, Tilestache, Tilemill, Mapnik, Mapbox GL, Tangram, and PostGIS for efficient tiling solutions. Web Mapping Development: Skilled in creating dynamic and interactive web maps using Geoserver, Python (Flask), Leaflet, OpenLayers, MapLibre and PostGIS. Database Design and Management: Proficient in designing robust database schemas and administering spatial databases with expertise in backups, recovery, PITR, and replication. ELK Stack Proficiency: Experienced in utilizing Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana for advanced data analysis and visualization. GIS Data QA/QC: Conducted rigorous quality assurance and control, both manually and through automated processes. Remote Sensing: Skilled in processing and analyzing satellite and aerial imagery for land cover classification, vegetation analysis, and environmental monitoring, utilizing tools like python, GDAL, QGIS, Envi and Erdas Imagine to extract meaningful insights from large-scale datasets. I am passionate about leveraging modern technologies to solve complex geospatial challenges. My goal is to deliver impactful, large-scale projects that make a difference. Let’s work together to harness the power of GIS and web mapping for your next project.
