GIS & Climate Data Analyst | CMIP6, Remote Sensing & Machine Learning Specialist

Profile Summary

I am a GIS, remote sensing, and climate data analyst with a strong background in hydrology, watershed modeling, and environmental data analysis. My work focuses on applying geospatial and machine learning techniques to understand environmental and climate-related processes. I have experience working with spatial and climate datasets using Google Earth Engine and Python, including processing and analyzing CMIP6 climate model outputs and NetCDF data. My work includes land use and land cover classification, flood risk mapping, climate change impact assessment, and hydrological modeling for watershed studies. In my academic and project-based experience, I have worked on multiple geospatial analysis tasks such as watershed delineation, runoff estimation, and climate trend analysis. I have also applied remote sensing techniques for vegetation monitoring (e.g., NDVI) and environmental change detection. My educational background is focused on geospatial science, environmental analysis, and hydrology-related studies, where I developed strong technical skills in spatial data analysis, climate modeling, and data-driven environmental problem solving. I am continuously improving my skills in machine learning applications for climate and hydrological data to support better environmental decision-making and research-based solutions.
