Geospatial AI Engineer

Mapping the world through code & data

13+ years bridging IT infrastructure with geospatial intelligence. Holding a Master's in GIS & Remote Sensing, I architect systems where location intelligence meets modern software engineering.

Based between Tehran and Urmia, Iran. Fluent in Turkish, Persian, English. Founder of bookane.ir, writer at blog.araz.me, and creator of geoChat-v2-core.

OSGeo advocate. Open source is not just a tool — it's a philosophy I embed in every layer of my work.
