About the Author
I am Junaid Waseem, founder and lead author of RS & GIS. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems, a highly specialised technical discipline covering Earth observation, spatial data science, and cartography.
My work at RS & GIS stems from direct, hands-on experience applying geospatial methods in real analytical workflows. Every tutorial, guide, and analysis published here reflects practical understanding built through years of working with satellite data, geospatial Python pipelines, 3D spatial models, and field-verified methodologies.
"Geospatial science is one of the most impactful technical disciplines of our time. My goal is to make this knowledge genuinely accessible to students, researchers, and professionals worldwide."
