Geospatial & environmental systems · Kathmandu
I design and build air-quality platforms, Earth-observation analytics, web-GIS applications and decision-support systems for governments, research institutes and development programmes across the Hindu Kush Himalaya. Seven-plus years at ICIMOD, RIMES and beyond, from WRF-Chem runs and Google Earth Engine pipelines to production dashboards.
Previously at ICIMOD and RIMES, now at Seed Innovations and teaching at Kathmandu University.
Expertise
Operational air-quality systems that bring ground monitors, satellite products and chemical transport model output into one place decision-makers can use.
Satellite time series turned into flood, drought and land-cover information that decision-makers can open in a browser.
Map-based decision-support applications and the spatial data services behind them, from database to browser.
Operational systems that keep observations, satellite data and model output in step, and turn them into decisions.
