Saad Wani

I am Saad Wani, a dedicated Master's student in Mineral Resource Engineering at Technische Hochschule Georg Agricola. With a robust background in Applied Geology and extensive experience in GIS and spatial data analysis, I have developed a strong proficiency in using tools such as ArcGIS and Google Earth. My past roles as a University Research Assistant and freelance GIS Analyst have honed my skills in geological mapping, landslide hazard assessment, and project management.

I am eager to leverage my expertise in a dynamic working environment, particularly in positions that offer opportunities near Bochum or remotely.

I have a diverse and extensive background in geology and GIS, with significant professional experiences including:
