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.
ARCclaude
An open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connecting AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) directly to the ArcGIS Pro ecosystem. Enables LLMs to run geoprocessing tools, write and debug ArcPy, inspect projects, and automate spatial data workflows via natural language.
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.
