Expertise
Four Pillars of Practice
A decade of humanitarian work distilled into four interconnected domains. Each pillar reinforces the others — data analytics powers GIS platforms, climate analysis drives anticipatory cash, and cash monitoring feeds back into data systems.
“His ethical, risk-informed, and forward-thinking approach makes him an invaluable leader in humanitarian geospatial information technologies and emergency response coordination.”

Data Analytics & Information Management
The backbone of every humanitarian response
I design and build the information management systems that humanitarian organizations depend on to coordinate their response. This isn't about dashboards — it's about complete data ecosystems that transform raw partner reporting into actionable intelligence for decision-makers at every level.
Core Capabilities
- ▸Humanitarian reporting platforms (ReportHub)
- ▸Multi-cluster data architecture and pipeline design
- ▸Power BI & Tableau analytical dashboards with advanced DAX
- ▸KoboToolbox form design and data collection systems
- ▸Partner coordination and data sharing frameworks
- ▸AI-enabled secondary data analysis (deployed DEEP platform)
- ▸Situation analysis and needs assessment coordination
Tools & Technologies
Impact Highlight
Supported 200+ organizations across six countries with reporting platforms, analytical frameworks, and coordination mechanisms.
GIS & Remote Sensing
Mapping risk, tracking change, guiding response
Geospatial analysis is the connective tissue of humanitarian operations — it turns abstract data into spatial intelligence that shows where people are, where risks are concentrated, and where resources need to go. I build platforms that make this intelligence accessible to non-technical decision-makers.
Core Capabilities
- ▸Multi-hazard geospatial platforms (HSDC)
- ▸Satellite imagery analysis and change detection
- ▸Flood exposure and displacement estimation
- ▸Settlement mapping and population analysis
- ▸Accessibility and logistics mapping
- ▸GeoAI applications for humanitarian contexts
- ▸Web-based interactive mapping platforms
Tools & Technologies
Impact Highlight
Led the development and deployment of HSDC — Afghanistan's first integrated multi-hazard geospatial analysis and forecasting system.
Climate Analytics & DRR / Anticipatory Action
Shifting from reactive response to predictive action
The humanitarian sector spends billions responding to disasters after they strike. I'm focused on building the systems that enable anticipatory action — using climate data, early warning indicators, and pre-agreed triggers to initiate response before crises escalate.
Core Capabilities
- ▸Climate trigger threshold development
- ▸Early warning system integration
- ▸Drought, flood, and earthquake risk modeling
- ▸Anticipatory action framework design
- ▸IPC/food security trend analysis
- ▸Multi-hazard risk assessment platforms
- ▸Climate vulnerability mapping
Tools & Technologies
Impact Highlight
Developed climate trigger thresholds for anticipatory action and multi-hazard risk assessment frameworks in Afghanistan.
Humanitarian Cash Transfer Programming
Measuring what matters in cash-based response
Cash is the fastest-growing modality in humanitarian response, but measuring its impact remains a challenge. I build the data systems — post-distribution monitoring frameworks, delivery tracking dashboards, and inter-agency analytical tools — that ensure cash programs reach the most vulnerable and achieve their intended outcomes.
Core Capabilities
- ▸Post-distribution monitoring framework design
- ▸Inter-agency cash impact meta-analysis
- ▸Cash delivery and payment tracking dashboards
- ▸Market monitoring and price analysis
- ▸Beneficiary data management systems
- ▸Cash Working Group coordination and reporting
- ▸Multi-purpose cash assessment tools
Tools & Technologies
Impact Highlight
Designed the first inter-agency PDM meta-analysis framework, unifying 1,559 household surveys from five organizations in Ethiopia.
