Back-end GIS Developer at MakanNegar
Tehran, Iran
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHossein Rad is a Back-end GIS Developer and PhD candidate in GIS with over 10 years' experience building custom spatial frameworks and tools, most notably Maptor (MakanNegar), an open-source .NET spatial platform launched in 2017. He designs end-to-end GIS solutions—from desktop map viewers to web MapServer components—prioritizing modularity and independence from commercial stacks like ESRI. His background spans applied research in coordinate transformation, indexing and big spatial data, plus practical backend roles across enterprises and a web3 game studio. As a lecturer and long-time contributor to Iran’s spatial infrastructure efforts, he blends academic rigor with production-grade engineering. Unusually, he focuses on building indigenous, ground-up GIS foundations rather than extending existing vendors, enabling bespoke workflows for complex spatial challenges. Located in Tehran, he actively documents and shares work through GitHub, scholarly profiles, and a Persian personal site.
