Utkal Sharma

Utkal enjoys collaborating with and for highly skilled individuals. Most of us are technical problem-solvers, and we often find ourselves eagerly gathered around a whiteboard, developing technical solutions. When he requests a colleague to do something, he can trust that it will be completed promptly and accurately. He believes that location is fundamental to life. From analyzing urban expansion to identifying optimal habitats for endangered species, GIS continues to provide us with tools to push the boundaries and explore uncharted territories. He has even presented a paper at the ESRI User Conference about Location Intelligence. Utkal leads multidisciplinary geospatial teams, designs robust and efficient GIS approaches and algorithms, and develops automated workflows for accurate and efficient processes. Sharma has been working in the field of remote sensing, GIS, and mapping since 2000. Sharma utilizes AI and machine learning in GIS analytics.
