About Me

With 15+ years of experience, I have worked in different roles and positions such as Developer, Team Lead, System analyst, Trainer, Pre-Sales Consultant and Solution Architect. I have gained extensive knowledge in Programming, System Design and Implementation with Proprietary and Open-Source Technologies as I have been involved in developing and designing systems for multiple disciplines which include Agriculture (Ground Water, Soil Salinity), Vehicle/Asset Tracking, Spatial Data Mining and Business Intelligence, Geospatial and Social Media Analytics. I have worked on projects related to Oil and Gas, Telecommunication, Business Intelligence and Vehicle Tracking. I have successfully delivered various GIS projects at Saudi Aramco while working as consultant.

I have worked on tasks individually and as part of a team. I have also managed and trained resources under my supervision. I believe in leading from the front by taking on critical project tasks and those requiring more research.
