Duaa Sarfaraz

I am a Spatial Data Specialist with over 4 years of hands-on experience in end-to-end geographic information systems, remote sensing, and GIS workflow automation. I specialize in turning complex spatial data and satellite imagery into actionable, production-ready spatial intelligence for environmental, urban, and climate-focused projects. Key Achievements & Experience: Advanced Spatial Analytics: Formulated geostatistical models, hotspot assessments (Getis-Ord Gi*), and spatial interpolation (Kriging) across large-scale regional environmental and hydrological datasets. Remote Sensing & Satellite Processing: Processed multi-temporal Landsat, Sentinel-2, and MODIS satellite data using Google Earth Engine and ERDAS Imagine for Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) classification and Land Surface Temperature (LST) mapping. Workflow Automation & Data Pipelines: Streamlined data extraction and processing times using Python (ArcPy, GeoPandas, Rasterio), SQL/PostGIS, and FME pipelines. Academic Excellence: Graduated top of my cohort with a B.Sc. (Hons.) and hold an M.Sc. in Geography alongside specialized ESRI cartography certifications. Core Technical Stack: Platforms: ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap, QGIS, Google Earth Engine, ERDAS Imagine Data & Automation: Python, R, SQL, PostGIS, FME Form/Flow, GDAL What I Am Looking For: I am seeking long-term or contract-based remote roles as a GIS Analyst, Geospatial Data Specialist, or Remote Sensing Specialist. I am open to collaborating with international consultancies, research institutions, and tech teams needing custom spatial analysis, pipeline automation, or publication-quality mapping.
