Location: Pune, India

Budget: Recommended by industry experts

Time to start: As soon as possible

Project description:
"We are looking for an experienced AI/ML + GIS developer (and ideally a mentor with hackathon/project experience) to help build a prototype of a Decision Support and WebGIS system. The focus is on digitization of legacy records, integration with satellite/remote sensing data, and building an interactive GIS-based decision-making platform for development programs in India.

Project Scope:

The project will require combining AI/ML, Remote Sensing, and WebGIS. Key components include:

Data Digitization (Text & Records)

Develop OCR + NLP pipelines to digitize scanned documents.

Use NER (Named Entity Recognition) to extract structured details (names, locations, coordinates, claim status, etc.).

AI-based Asset Mapping

Use Computer Vision on satellite imagery (Sentinel-2, Landsat, etc.).

Detect and classify:
• Agricultural land
• Forest cover
• Water bodies (ponds, rivers)
• Homesteads / settlements

Apply supervised ML models (CNNs, Random Forest, etc.) for land-use classification.

WebGIS Development

Build an interactive WebGIS platform with multiple data layers.

Features should include filtering (state/district/village), progress tracking, and visualization of integrated datasets.

Integration with socio-economic and infrastructure data.

Decision Support System (DSS)

Build a rule-based + AI-enhanced DSS engine.

Recommend and prioritize interventions/programs (e.g., water schemes, agricultural schemes, welfare programs).

Deliverables:

Digitized and AI-processed archive of legacy records.

AI-generated spatial asset maps.

Interactive WebGIS Atlas with layers & filters.

DSS engine with actionable recommendations.

Requirements:

Strong skills in Python, GIS, and Remote Sensing (QGIS, GDAL, Rasterio, GeoPandas, Google Earth Engine).

Familiarity with OCR + NLP/NER pipelines.

Experience in AI/ML for geospatial data.

WebGIS development experience (Leaflet, Mapbox, GeoServer, or similar).

Ability to think strategically and iterate quickly (hackathon-style prototyping).

Nice to Have:

Prior experience in building decision support systems or GIS portals.

Knowledge of Indian datasets (satellite imagery, government open data portals, socio-economic data).

Hackathon-winning experience or past project success (please share LinkedIn profile or proof links).

Location Preference:

Developers familiar with India’s data and geography will be preferred." (client-provided description)
