A little about me
Hey, I'm Pujan.
I'm currently studying BE in Geomatics Engineering, learning how maps, data and technology can help us understand the physical world.
I'm always curious about learning new things and exploring ideas beyond what I study academically. Alongside Geomatics, I find myself drawn toward psychology and philosophy — the questions behind how people think, behave, perceive and make meaning.
And somewhere between all of that, I write poems and collect thoughts.
Mapping
Understanding the world through spatial data.
Exploration
Always curious about what lies beyond the familiar.
Psychology
Interested in how the human mind works.
Poetry
Turning thoughts into words.
Two worlds, one curious mind
The Technical Side
- Geomatics
- GIS
- Mapping
- OpenStreetMap
- Python
- Space
I like understanding the world through data, maps and technology.
The Human Side
- Psychology
- Philosophy
- Poetry
- Ideas
- Curiosity
- Observation
And I like understanding the people who live in that world.
What I've built so far
Mapping Tomorrow
OSM Hackfest 2026We recently created a web-based platform that leverages OpenStreetMap data to identify disaster-prone areas and connect local communities with nearby recycling and waste-management resources.
The problem — in the current system, departments such as disaster management and waste management often operate independently, limiting overall efficiency and impact.
Our idea — integrate these two sectors into a unified framework, enabling them to work collaboratively rather than in isolation.
The impact — by bringing disaster preparedness and waste management together on a single platform, the project aims to improve coordination, optimize resource utilization, strengthen disaster resilience and promote sustainable waste practices.
Building the toolkit
Early days — these are the tools I'm actively learning, not areas of finished expertise.
QGIS
Spatial analysis and GIS workflows.
OpenStreetMap
Open geographic data and community mapping.
Google Earth
Exploring and understanding geographic environments.
Python for Mapping
Beginning to combine programming with geospatial work.
The journey so far
Started BE in Geomatics Engineering
The first step into a field that blends data, geography and the physical world.
QGIS, OpenStreetMap, Google Earth & Python
Started exploring the core tools of spatial data and geographic technology.
Mapping Tomorrow
Worked with Chandra Shekhar Yadav and Ashish Acharya on a unified disaster and waste-management platform.
Became Event Coordinator
Took on an organizing role for space exploration events at college.
Beyond Earth
Students for the Exploration and Development of Space
Event Coordinator
I am currently serving as an Event Coordinator for SEDS at my college.
Three teams from six institutions battled it out across orbital mechanics, astronomy and the latest space missions, testing not just their knowledge but their ability to think quickly under pressure.
Not everything I think belongs on a map
Alongside the technical work, I write poems, quotes and personal reflections — a quieter, more personal thread running through everything else.
Currently exploring
Psychology
Interested in understanding behavior, perception and the hidden patterns behind human actions.
Philosophy
Exploring questions about consciousness, meaning, existence and the human experience.
Space
Curious about the universe beyond the maps we make on Earth.
Geomatics
Learning how spatial data can help us understand and solve real-world problems.
