Chapter 01— Overview

Democratizing earth observation data for researchers and enterprise planners.

Geosage is a geospatial analytics platform that aggregates multi-spectral satellite imagery (Sentinel, Landsat) to track deforestation, urban sprawl, coastline erosion, and carbon credit projects. As Lead Designer, I architected the map canvas interactions, layer opacity blending, and time-lapse playback controls to make multi-terabyte spatial datasets effortless to explore.

Chapter 02— The Challenge

Rendering millions of vector polygons without browser lag or interface chaos.

Traditional desktop GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS) has steep learning curves and overwhelming toolbars with hundreds of nested sub-menus. Our goal was building a browser-based GIS interface that provides spatial scientists full precision over spectral band combinations while enabling commercial analysts to generate automated change-detection reports in 3 clicks.

“When you view the planet through data layers, clarity isn’t just visual; it’s the key to protecting vulnerable ecosystems.”

Chapter 03— Approach

Spatial interaction mapping, floating toolbars, and GPU-accelerated layer controls.

  1. 01

    GIS Scientist Workflow Discovery

    Conducted workflow analyses with environmental analysts to identify the most common satellite spectral indices (NDVI, NDWI, EVI).

  2. 02

    Floating Map HUD & Collapsible Sidebars

    Designed a non-intrusive Heads-Up Display (HUD) that maximizes map canvas real estate while keeping layer toggles within thumb reach.

  3. 03

    Time-Lapse Slider & Comparison Split-Screen

    Built an interactive before/after curtain slider allowing users to compare 2015 vs 2024 satellite sweeps side-by-side.

  4. 04

    Vector Drawing & Export Module

    Created rapid polygon annotation tools with instant area (sq km) calculations and GeoJSON/Shapefile export capabilities.

Chapter 04— Outcome

Adoption by international climate foundations and municipal planners.

Geosage accelerated environmental audit reporting times by 75% and was adopted by environmental NGOs to monitor protected rainforest concessions in real time.

  • 75%Faster Environmental Audit Reports
  • 50M+Square Kilometers Analyzed
  • < 100msMap Render Latency for Large Datasets
Farid turned dense satellite data into an intuitive, visually stunning experience that allows our clients to uncover environmental insights in minutes rather than weeks.
