Working as an assistant professor at the college of Art, King Saud University, teaching subjects like Cartography, GIS applications, Spatial Analysis within GIS, and Remote Sensing (as a part time job).
I worked as a Geographical Information Systems Engineer; my responsibilities included:
Technical support engineer
GIS specialist
- Data acquisition
- Modelling, and
- Analysing
Generating database for 3D simulation
Integrating DEM data and satellite images for mission planning
I developed a wide range of skills through my experience at Alsalam Aircraft Co. I was responsible for overseeing spatial information projects within a team of six so time management and accuracy assurance were key requirements.
I worked as a Common Mapping Production System (CMPS) Administrator. This system provides all the mapping, charting, geodesy and imagery (MCG&I) data required as inputs for the mission planning system (AFMSS). I have dealt with many applications of remote sensing and GIS such as; the production of DEM from ether topographic maps or satellite images, Arial and satellite images interpretation, and the production of Arc Digital Raster Imagery (ADRI) from spot 10m resolution images. As a result of this work experience I became very interested in Remote Sensing and took the opportunity to gain a wide range of experience in different Remote Sensing and GIS applications.
I worked as an Intergraph Analytical stereo-plotter Operator. I served as a team member in the creation of a database from a compilation of planimetric details and digital elevation models from aerial photography and satellite imagery.
Analysis and Visualization of Digital Elevation Models (DEM) for hydrological modelling and catchment management applications. In general, the thesis is about the whole issues of assessing the “fitness for purpose” of elevation data and the need for people doing GIS work to be more aware of data error and uncertainty issues than they often are.
Modules covered include: GIS Spatial Information Sciences Earth Observation and Remote Sensing Research Design and Methods Geographic Visualization Programming Plus a master’s dissertation.
