Alefiya is a Computer Engineer by education. She started out as a software programmer at the beginning of her career, and the field of geographical information systems has her gravitating toward it. Combining a computer science background with map production and integrating earth imagery excites her. I have acquired spatial analysis skills while doing the GIS program. In her free time, she loves cooking and reading.
