About Nurullah Opu

Imagine a workaholic, a curious person and a perfectionist, and the combination of three defines me how I am. Being born in the old skirt of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. I was raised in a competitive, practical life which has shaped me what I am today. Master's student, in University of Dhaka, one of the oldest, top ranked public university in Bangladesh. Majoring in Physical Geography and Environment, I see myself as a future data analyst having expertise in geo-spatial technology. So, from student life, I have practiced and earned handful experiences on spatial technology. ArcGIS Desktop, QGIS, Erdas Imagine, ENVI, ILWIS and SPSS are my preferred software to work on. Experiences on GIS programming with Python, Leaflet and Development in some ArcGIS platforms and also creating websites and blogs with great UX and UI design. My designs to be checked on the portfolio and blog section of my personal website (www.nurullahopu.ml). Reach out if you'd like contact me for any queries.
