About Me

Afzal Khan

GIS, Spatial Data and Data Professional

I’m a Data Engineer and Geospatial professional who has led projects ranging from end-to-end ETL implementation to AI chatbot development and spatial modeling. In my previous roles—Associate Software Engineer at Precisely and Project Lead Developer at A8 Consulting—I designed and deployed cloud-based data solutions, streamlined data pipelines, and integrated sophisticated analytics to help teams uncover actionable insights. From harnessing Python to automate ingestion pipelines, to applying GIS techniques for geospatial intelligence, I’ve focused on turning complex datasets into practical business value.

My projects reflect a balance of innovation and real-world impact: crafting AI-driven chatbots that optimize documentation workflows, building property management systems that unify data for more informed decisions, and leveraging Bayesian methods to better understand climate-related health risks. Through each initiative, I’ve developed a broad technical toolkit that includes Python, SQL, AWS, Azure, and visualization platforms like Power BI or Tableau, complemented by expertise in ArcGIS and QGIS for spatial analysis.

Academically, I hold a Master of Data Science from Monash University, where I received the Sir John Monash Scholarship for Excellence, as well as an MSc in Geoinformatics (Gold Medal) from TERI School of Advanced Studies and a BA (Hons) in Geography from Delhi University. These achievements underpin my passion for bridging data engineering, cutting-edge analytics, and geospatial insights to deliver solutions that shape better decisions in both business and research settings.
