Biography
|
I am a Geoinformatics Engineer with a Bachelor’s degree (2015) from National University of Sciences & Technology, Pakistan and Master’s degree (2019) from Institute of Space Technology, Pakistan. Since my graduation I have been a part of both Industry and Academia, starting my professional career in 2015, I have worked on spatial datasets from different application areas including urban planning, vehicle tracking, rescue services and more.
As my first professional assignment, I worked on the spatial planning of two cities in Punjab and Sindh provinces of Pakistan. Later, I joined Pakistan’s first digital mapping and location-based services platform as the data lead, here we worked to materialize a data development and management system using open-source database, capable of handling the largest spatial dataset of Pakistan. Working in different application areas, I have a passion to learn and use my skills in archaeological heritage, with an effort towards preservation.

Research
|
My previous research work is focused around addressing the issues relating to lack of planning support systems for spatial planning in Pakistan. I have also done work on development of a proof-of-concept system for semantic enrichment of vehicle routing engines using Linked Data.
I see my current position at Cambridge as an opportunity to do research work in Archaeology with more focus towards handling of large archaeological heritage dataset in Arches database.
