Google Developer Groups Islamabad reposted this
Last weekend, I had the privilege of speaking at DevFest Islamabad where I shared my journey and insights on how AI will transform the edtech landscape. While it's always fulfilling to reflect on my own experiences, filled with both challenges and successes, this opportunity turned out to be a great learning moment for me as well. I won’t lie, I did feel like an imposter speaking in front of the field leaders. My talk centered around how current AI solutions often overlook the educator's perspective, and how it's essential for educators to collaborate with ed-tech companies. Involving the end users in the development process is crucial to creating solutions that genuinely address real-world challenges especially in the global south. Paulo Blikstein, one of my professors and mentors at Teachers College, has been a constant source of inspiration with his emphasis on learner-centered design, which continues to guide my approach to developing effective solutions. Lastly, I want to extend my gratitude to the DevFest organizing committee for executing such a fantastic event and bringing together such knowledgeable individuals. Thank you for being such gracious hosts! Muhammad Umar Nazir Google Developer Groups Islamabad

It was a pleasure hosting you at our event Andleeb Aslam! 😊 Thank you for inspiring us all with your unique perspective and being a strong advocate of DEI! Looking forward to more collaborations with Zong CMPak Ltd in the future.
What comes to mind when you hear the words Diversity, Equity & Inclusion? Is it just about achieving gender balance? What about creating opportunities for differently-abled individuals, embracing neurodiversity, or supporting those with genetic disorders? How can organizations go beyond the basics to truly foster an inclusive and equitable environment for a diverse workforce? These are topics close to my heart, and advocating for DE&I feels like a personal mission for me. So, I was genuinely thrilled to be invited by Google Developer Groups Islamabad to share my perspective as a panelist. It was lovely sharing the stage with Ayesha Sheikh and Mehwish Tariq. This was a wonderful event, especially for the youth, kudus to Muhammad Umar Nazir and his team for arranging everything so meticulously and thanks to Ramis Ali for all his efforts in making this partnership a success. #ResponsibleAI #GDG #Google #Zong #Telecommunications #Telecom

A huge shout out to the team from IST & congratulations on being the 1st Google funded research team in Pakistan! We are all super proud of you! 🇵🇰

The Earth Observation market has always been a driving force behind my passion as a geospatial enthusiast. Inspired by the vision to address climate challenges and contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), I’ve been committed to exploring innovative ways to integrate cutting-edge technologies into geospatial solutions. The emergence of Generative AI, introduced through the groundbreaking paper "Attention Is All You Need," has revolutionized industries with the power of Large Language Models (LLMs). Subsequent advancements, such as LangChain and domain-specific AI tools, have further demonstrated how these technologies can transform various fields. These breakthroughs inspired me to imagine their application in geospatial technologies, promoting modern GIS,Cloud based Geospatial technologies and paving the way for impactful Earth Observation solutions. Motivated by this vision, During Aug,2024, we developed the first prototype of GenEE (Generative Earth Engine). This tool, built using the Gemini API, enabled intuitive geospatial data visualization and analysis through natural language prompts. However, we envisioned a solution beyond mere functionality—a robust, democratized system that utilizes GeoLLMs to interpret planetary-scale geospatial data on Google Earth Engine (GEE). Our goal was clear: to break down the technical barriers and make advanced geospatial insights accessible to all. Yet, like many ambitious projects, we faced challenges—primarily, the lack of computational resources. Refusing to let this hinder progress, we shared our vision with Google . Today, I am proud to share that our Final Year Project (FYP) is officially Google-funded, a first in Pakistan’s undergraduate research landscape. With a $10,000 research grant awarded to our team, comprising my fyp partner Ahmed Iqbal , our supervisor Dr. Sajid Ghuffar, and myself, we’ve reached a defining milestone in our academic journey. This achievement culminated in a proud moment at DevFest Islamabad organized by Google Developer Groups Islamabad , where we presented our work on GenEE. We showcased how GenAI capabilities could transform geospatial analysis, bridging the gap between technical and non-technical users. This recognition solidifies my resolve to advance GeoAI and develop solutions that redefine Earth Observation. While this milestone is worth celebrating, the journey has just begun. I am deeply motivated to see how this project evolves—pushing the boundaries of geospatial technology, enabling actionable insights, and contributing to a sustainable future for all. #Geospatial #GeoAI #GenerativeAI #EarthObservation #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateSolutions #GeospatialInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence #DevFestIslamabad #RemoteSensing #GoogleResearch #GIS #TechForGood #Innovation #LLMs #AIforEarth
