Water Modeling Technologist, Environment & Protected Areas at the Government of Alberta: 2024 –2025. 

As a Water Modeling Technologist with the Government of Alberta, I designed and automated end-to-end hydrologic workflows that integrate real-time licensing and water-use data to produce scalable, policy-ready models. Leveraging Python, R, GIS and Excel, I built dynamic dashboards and forecasting tools that translate complex datasets into clear insights, enabling rapid “what-if” analyses and evidence-based decision-making.

•    Supported water-supply, allocation, and drought-forecast modelling for priority basins; informed licensing decisions, seasonal restrictions, and water conservation objectives (WCO)/instream objectives (IO).
•    Engineered Excel/Python/R what-if tools ingesting licensing, hydrologic, and demand data for same-day scenario testing; accelerated reviews and improved assumption transparency.
•    Built one-click QA/QC and reporting pipelines (APIs/FTP/web), reducing manual processing by 90–95% and strengthening traceability for surveillance, audits, and appeals.
•    Authored technical notes, map figures, and review checklists; supported drafting of approval clauses and monitoring requirements.
•    Developed a compliance dashboard reconciling reported water use vs. licence conditions; flagged exceedances and anomalies for follow-up.

Capstone Project Manager, Student project at SAIT: 2023–2024. 

Led a team in conducting a reclamation study at a mining site, for a leading Canadian resource company in Canada. utilizing GIS expertise to develop a prediction model for the impact of mining expansion and proposing mitigation solutions. Emphasized robust spatial analysis and stakeholder collaboration.

• Directed the creation of a spatial prediction model in ArcGIS Pro & QGIS to assess mining-expansion impacts on terrain and water balance.

• Integrated drone imagery and soil-erosion tools to map areas requiring revegetation and engineering controls.

• Coordinated weekly reviews with academic advisors and the client’s engineering team to refine methodology and deliverables.

Team lead of Geospatial Operations and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Canada Chinook for Trading and Construction, 2022–2023. 

Drove reclamation, CCUS feasibility and water-policy projects by merging advanced GIS, remote sensing and hydrologic modelling with automated Python/ArcPy and FME pipelines. Ensured compliance, community alignment and data efficiency.

•    Supported oil & gas proponents with mapping/data packages and submission-ready technical memos for provincial regulatory filings (water sourcing, access, reclamation/closure).
•    Led pre-application water-sourcing assessments; screened source availability, priority conflicts, return flows, and cumulative effects; delivered concise risk memos and data packages.
•    Built a Python/ArcPy/SQL screening tool for WCO/IO thresholds, seasonal restrictions, diversion rates, and intake timing; cut internal review time by ~40% and improved decision traceability.
•    Automated ArcPy/FME workflows (−75% processing time); standardized QA/QC, symbology, and metadata to reduce resubmittals.
•    Built web maps/dashboards to track approvals, licence conditions, and reporting deadlines; shortened internal review cycles. 

 

Environmental Lead, Al-Mayameen for Investment Company, 2019– 2022.

Oversaw environmental impact and resource assessments for sustainable development projects in Amman, Jordan. Combined EIA, water-resources modelling and stakeholder engagement to guide policy and infrastructure planning.

• Led EIAs for medical-waste facilities, focusing on air quality, carbon emissions, noise and water-contamination mitigation.

• Managed interdisciplinary teams to collect baseline data (meteorology, air/water quality) and develop mitigation strategies aligned with SDGs and regulations.

• Directed integrated water-resources modelling under multiple climate-change scenarios to forecast long-term impacts on hydrological systems.

• Presented technical findings to government agencies and community groups, fostering consensus on sustainable development plans.

Water and Environmental lead, Rekaaz Aleamar Est Company, 2016–2019. 

Delivered water-resource and environmental engineering services for oil & gas projects, incorporating CCUS feasibility studies and GHG-emissions analysis, to support sustainable extraction and infrastructure development in Saudi Arabia.

• Conducted comprehensive water-use assessments for hydraulic-fracturing operations, integrating subsurface geospatial analysis and regulatory compliance for oil & gas clients.

• Performed CCUS site evaluations: modelled CO₂ injection capacity, plume migration and leakage risk to inform early-stage carbon-storage strategies.

• Developed lifecycle GHG-emissions inventories using Python and GHGenius, assessing impacts of extraction and CCUS pathways on corporate sustainability targets.

• Led hydrological studies on flood risk and drought prediction, embedding climate-scenario projections into MODFLOW and HEC-RAS models to recommend engineering mitigation measures.

• Applied advanced spatio-statistical methods to evaluate climate-change impacts on local water resources, guiding robust resource-management plans.
