Full-Stack Engineer • GIS Platforms • Production Systems

Malik Sheraz Maqsood Ahmed

I design and ship web platforms for enterprise and government teams, with a focus on Laravel, Node.js, NestJS, React, PostgreSQL, and GIS-powered systems.

About

Engineering work that scales from internal operations to public platforms

I currently work with the GIS Lab, Punjab Forest Department, where I build full-scale digital platforms that support forestry operations, monitoring, and decision-making. My work combines application engineering with spatial systems, mapping workflows, and production deployment.

Earlier roles across logistics, healthcare, education, and freelance product development strengthened my ability to deliver reliable systems, improve performance, automate deployments, and work closely with stakeholders.
