I started the company in 2016 after 12 years in the GIS industry.

At that point I had substantial experience working for a consultancy in the energy sector, having worked in a great variety of GIS projects. I started with ArcMap but by 2015, I was working with ArcGIS Pro and had experience working with the ESRI Enterprise System.

As Database Manager, I was responsible for creating and maintaining the datasets needed for the various energy projects as well as producing the geospatial end products that included:

• Creating maps and GIS analysis

• Large charts (A0/A1) and figures for reports (A4/A3)

• Data packages

• Data conversions (for other software) including CRS conversion

• Advise on geodetic transformations and data accuracy

​

My skills included:

• Digitizing

• Georeferencing

• Data transformation from/into various formats

• CRS geodetic transformations

• Creating and maintaining global and local datasets in a folder and file geodatabase system

• GIS Database management including metadata standards

• Creating toolboxes for automating tasks

• Creating layouts and templates

• Spatial analysis

• Raster/grid  analysis

• SQL queries and python scripting

 

From 2017 – 2020, I then worked for a small Swedish- based oil company with a couple of producing fields in Africa and the Baltic region. I was brough in post-installation of the ESRI enterprise system to

• develop and manage the enterprise platform

• migrate all existing GIS (from data dumps in folders) to the new enterprise system, creating new database and metadata rules)

• develop the ESRI Portal

• train all relevant staff in use of the new platform

• create easy to use portal maps and apps (using the ArcGIS Web App Builder)

• create standards for GIS work practices and symbology

• provide continuous GIS support and training

 
In 2020, for about 5 years, I then worked for a large British energy company on two substantial modernization projects.

The first project involved a comprehensive modernization of the charting system to the latest ESRI software (ArcGIS Pro) in line with industry best practice

The project included:

• Providing new templates for ArcGIS Pro including layouts with full automation.

• Sde schema layer naming and naming in the maps

• Official symbology for all layers

• Official labelling rules

• New chart numbering system

• New chart management library system in SharePoint

• New FME workflows for CAD charts – including all transformation needed for:

• Clipping, Generalizing, Filtering, Symbolizing (using seed file), Labelling and Automated upload of exports to SharePoint library with metadata

• Product owner for several strategic layers

 

The second project involved developing a modernized Response app using ESRI Experience Builder.

This included:

• Compile and assemble a comprehensive list of strategic and tactical response layers

• Design and create templates for:

  • Tactical layers including all field names, alias, field types and domain types

  • Symbology, grouping, labelling for all layers – ready for publishing on regional portals

  • Experience Builder app with all connections, widget controller, widgets, layouts, buttons, links, tables, panels etc

  • Field Maps and Survey 123 apps

• Custom create widgets with developer team

• Testing for performance issues

• Oversee and provide guidance for all regional deployment of the template

• Oversee decommissioning of the old templates.

• Create very comprehensive wiki
