Who I Am

Mapping the World
One Dataset at a Time

From ground-truth LiDAR to autonomous vehicle map builds — I bridge the technical and operational.

I'm a GIS and Mapping Operations professional with over 6 years of experience leading high-performing teams across government, enterprise, and autonomous technology ecosystems.

My career sits at the intersection of technical depth and program leadership — I've classified LiDAR point clouds, built indoor navigation datasets, managed vendor operations teams of 25+ people, and architected SOP frameworks adopted organisation-wide.

I believe high-quality map data is infrastructure. It powers autonomous vehicles, optimises utilities, and enables smarter cities. That conviction drives every project I lead — from cost-efficient map build pipelines to precise geolocation algorithm refinements.

Currently open to Program Manager, Mapping Operations roles — including on-site, hybrid, or fully remote positions.

🗺️ Mapping Operations at Scale
Led concurrent map build programs for government, utilities, and enterprise clients — ensuring cost-efficient, high-quality spatial data at every stage.
📋 SOP & Process Ownership
Designed and owned policy documentation, content management systems, and full process change pipelines for geospatial workflows.
🤝 Engineering & Vendor Coordination
Primary point of contact between engineering, vendor operations, and stakeholders — managing escalations, tool rollouts, and change management.
⚡ Workflow Optimisation
Identified map build inefficiencies and executed end-to-end solutions — improving quality while reducing operational cost.
