I am Waleed, a PhD Candidate in Geography at Hong Kong Baptist University, where I explore geospatial modeling, machine learning, and big data analytics for flood risk assessment. Recognized as a Google Developer Expert in Earth Engine, I am passionate about designing scalable, open-source geospatial tools that empower environmental decision-making. I am also a visiting researcher at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). My current work focuses on leveraging high-performance computing (GEE, Shaheen), AI-driven geospatial analytics, and big data to develop scalable solutions for flood management, climate extremes and environmental sustainability.

My research interests inclues remote sensing, geo-analytics, and machine learning applications, emphasizing integrated approaches to environmental monitoring. My overall goal is to make complex geospatial analyses more accessible, optimized, and scalable to academics and practitioners alike. Through collaborative projects and international publications, I aim to advance our understanding of climate impacts and promote equitable disaster prevention strategies.
