I'm Kumail, a GIS software engineer passionate about turning geospatial data into scalable, real-world solutions. My journey started with spatial data analysis, but it quickly evolved into building full-stack applications that drive decision-making in fields like agriculture, mobility, and urban planning.

Over the years, I've sharpened my skills in GoLang, Python, React, and PostGIS, creating systems that balance backend performance with clean, interactive interfaces. At Farmdar, I engineered backend microservices and integrated GIS technologies to power spatial insights at scale. More recently, during my internship at Positium in Estonia, I worked on advanced web-based geospatial visualization, developing reusable map modules, automating BIM/CAD to GIS workflows, and deploying 3D visualizations using Cesium.js.

I'm currently finishing my Erasmus+ GEM MSc in Geo-information Science and Earth Observation, holding a double degree from University of Tartu and UCLouvain, with a focus on environmental modelling, mobility analytics, and spatial decision support systems.

When I'm not deep in code or maps, you'll find me hiking or exploring new cities. Let's connect and build something impactful!
