GIS Analyst & Geomorphological Mapper
I specialize in developing high-accuracy geomorphological terrain models, publication-quality spatial datasets, and automated web-GIS platforms tailored for the mining, resource, and geotechnical sectors. Co-author of an upcoming volume on Metro Vancouver geology and recipient of the 2026 Esri Canada GIS Scholarship.

Portfolio
Key Projects
Terrain analysis, geomorphological mapping, automated GIS pipelines, and resource-sector spatial workflows.
AtmoLens
Fully automated geospatial pipeline fetching ECCC synoptic weather charts every 30 minutes, applying GLSL-based colourisation to grayscale outputs, and archiving a 7-day rolling catalog on Vercel — demonstrating serverless geospatial automation, cloud architecture, and environmental data monitoring skills directly applicable to mine-site weather operations.
Bear Sighting GIS
Survey123-powered field data collection workflow with auto-stored spatial records in ArcGIS Online, feeding a real-time web map with pie charts and summary indicators — demonstrating the exact field data → spatial database → live dashboard pipeline used for mine-site incident logging, environmental observation reporting, and field crew safety tracking.

// about.me
Hello, I'm Priyanshu
I am a detail-oriented GIS Analyst, Geospatial Researcher, and academic co-author based in Metro Vancouver. I currently produce publication-quality maps and spatial visualizations for faculty-led geology research at Capilano University.
From complex overlay analysis to configuring survey-driven web platforms, I specialize in transforming raw geographic data into clear, decision-ready outputs. I adhere to rigorous QA/QC standards to ensure cartographic precision and data integrity.
My geomorphological background — including terrain analysis, landform interpretation, and DEM-derived mapping — positions me for mining, geotechnical, and resource-sector GIS roles where accurate site characterisation drives critical decisions. I am actively targeting GIS Technician and Junior Analyst positions at firms including Stantec, SLR Consulting, Geosyntec, and the BC Geological Survey.
