About
I am a geospatial consultant working at the intersection of GIS, remote sensing, and applied AI, spanning deep learning, generative models, and agentic workflows. I advocate and contribute to open-source software — Xarray, QGIS, STAC, ComfyUI, GeoPython stack to name a few.
Experience
Anek Labs | Geospatial Consultant | Oct 2025 – Present. Working on 3D computer vision, mobile mapping, and satellite imagery.
GalaxEye Space | Geospatial Scientist | Sept 2023 – Oct 2025
Blue Sky Analytics | Data Scientist | May 2022 – Sept 2023

Past work, current focus and interests:
- Computer vision: deep learning for segmentation and object detection; current focus on self-supervised learning.
- Sensors and data: SAR and optical VHR data with spatial resolution down to 0.5 m apart from open-source datasets; experience with datasets from Umbra, Capella, Maxar, SkySat, ICEYE, and Synspective.
- MLOps: DVC and MLflow; designed and deployed end-to-end experiment tracking, data versioning, and reproducible training/inference pipelines in production.
- Performance: GPU optimization and profiling; Python packaging and environment management for reliable builds.
- Workflows: STAC experience including operating a STAC API server.
- Tooling: developed QGIS plugins; built an active-learning pipeline using a Random Forest predictor and QGIS as the labeling tool.
I co-founded Let’s Talk Spatial, a community for geospatial enthusiasts, hosting events and collaborating with other communities like OpenStreetMap Bengaluru and IEEE GRSS Bangalore chapter. I actively contribute to open-source projects and share my knowledge through blogs, videos, and workshops.
As the Young Professional Chair of IEEE GRSS Bangalore chapter, I co-organize various events.
I’ve spoken at open-source conferences like FOSS4G Kosovo and FOSS4G Asia Seoul, sharing my insights on open-source technologies.
My publications can be found on Google Scholar.
I graduated from Rashtreeya Vidyalaya College of Engineering in Civil Engineering where I was the president of the ASCE Student Chapter, leading the team to the Concrete Canoe Competition among various other activities. During college, I was also a Research Intern at the Indian Institute of Science, working on non-stationary rainfall intensity surface drainage design.
Beyond work, I enjoy jogging and playing badminton.
