About

Who I Am

I am a Geospatial & LiDAR Systems Engineer and Civil Surveying Specialist with over six years of experience in Aerial Mapping, Construction Surveying, and Infrastructure Development. My experience is backed by an engineering qualification from the University of Kirkuk, where I completed my BSc in Petroleum Engineering, which is recognized at an equivalent level to a German BSc degree.

My profession is characterized by the integration of advanced technology with site-based precision. I have extensive practical experience working with advanced technology using UAV LiDAR systems to process GNSS/IMU integration for high-precision terrain models and 3D reconstruction products. In addition to aerial survey mapping, I have extensive experience working with construction surveying services, including setting out positions, establishing control points, and checking as-built conditions to ensure strict compliance with tolerances.

I am a certified WingtraOne operator, focused on providing high accuracy deliverables such as LAS/LAZ point cloud, TIFF, complex drainage designs, and 2D/3D as-builts. My approach is characterized by technical flexibility, utilizing tools such as Autodesk Civil 3D, ArcGIS Pro, and LiDAR360, as well as attention to geospatial accuracy and QA/QC.

In addition to my technical work, I am a multilingual professional, fluent in Kurdish (native), English (C1), and Arabic (advanced), with a growing proficiency in German (A2).
