The client requested an online mapping system that would display live data from sensors onboard some roaming vehicles. Data would be displayed on a street level and also be viewed in an aggregated form. The client requested the facility to filter data spatially and temporally. Geoserver’s SQL Views were used to create this functionality. The client was left with a product that exactly met their design specification.
Sept. 2007/November 2010 Position: Snr. GIS/Web App. Designer Client: QinetiQ
· Project: UAV Ground Station Software
Technologies: C#, ESRI ArcObjects SDK, telemetry handling, SQL Server.
I developed software for QinetiQ’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Zephyr programme. Zephyr holds the record for the longest sustained flight of over fourteen days. It is an extremely light solar aircraft and flies at over seventy thousand feet. The navigation software generates predictive flight models based upon received telemetry and metrological data. I also developed the data logger which records all received telemetry from the craft.
· Project: Report on 3D Urban Models for Military Applications
Technologies: CityGML, Autodesk LandXplorer suite, CityEngine, SQL Server, 3D data formats.
I conducted research into urban 3D models for a defence client. The research looked at the potential of 3D analysis for defence purposes and the manner by which 3D models should be stored and disseminated.

Technologies: GeoServer, KML, Perl, Proj4
Team QinetiQ was a sponsored three man team that competed in the Amundsen Omega 3 South Pole challenge in January 2009. I contributed to an automated live tracking system that would update an interactive map of Antarctica with team positions & ETA calculations.
· Project: Environmental Monitoring Programme
Technologies: Sensor Web Enablement, Java Server Pages, PostgreSQL, OpenLayers, GeoServer
A prototype monitoring project, funded by DEFRA and South West Water, was developed by QinietQ. I was responsible for the security model, alert system and map display. The system would allow users to remotely monitor sensors, adjust sensor configurations and set up alert mechanisms based upon sensor parameters.
April 2006/July 2007 Contract: GIS Consultant Client: London Borough of Hackney
· Project: Property Information System
Technologies: MapInfo, Google Earth, Propman, MS Access.
The Property Services department at the London Borough of Hackney purchased a Property application to replace their existing setup. I was tasked with forming a migration strategy, designing the interface to the corporate finance system as well as providing training and support within the migration. I also took the role of Land Registry Liaison & digitized all available land ownership information within the borough. This was then integrated into the new property system.
January 2006/April 2006 Volunteer: GIS Specialist Client: Durrell Institute (Kenya)
· Project: Human-Wildlife Conflict Monitoring System
Technologies: VB.Net, MS Access 2003, ESRI ArcView 3.2
DICE (Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology) Friends of Conservation work together in Kenya to monitor wildlife in the Maasai Mara. They’ve implemented a scout programme with the Maasai communities to reduce human-wildlife conflicts & to reduce poaching in the Greater Mara Ecosystem. I was responsible for the development of a distributed GIS system and a data synchronization tool that would gather & distribute data between the various remote FoC offices in the Greater Mara.
January 2005/August 2005 Contract: Project Manager Client: Rural Payment Agency
· Project: Rural Land Register
Technologies: MS Access, CadCorp, VB, SQL Server
The Rural Land Register is a mapping system which holds the farming land parcels of England & Wales for the RPA’s single payment scheme. I managed 30 staff members who, with GIS training, were responsible for correcting poor digitisation by sub-contractors. I also design and implemented an audit trail system to control the processing of all single payment scheme submissions. The RLR was the largest GIS project in the UK that year. I also provided fraud detection using remote sensing data against claimed crop sizes.
February 2004/October2004 Contract: Team Leader: Deployment Client: Transport for London
· Project: Deployment of Street Repairs System
Technologies: MS Access, MapInfo, Visual Basic, MapBasic, SQL Server
I was responsible for the deployment of a mapping system to be used by London’s local authorities. This involved customised installations and user training. I also developed some network analysis software which reduced the manual quality assurance work by 90%.
March 2003/ February 2004 Contract: GIS Consultant Client: London Borough of Hackney
· Project: GIS/Property database integration
Technologies: MS Access, MapInfo, MapBasic
The Property & Valuers department at the London Borough of Hackney tasked me to integrate their property database with a spatial component. This involved data cleaning, geo-coding and the provision of a report generation tool.
March 2002/March 2003 Position: Internet GIS Development Client: RB. Kensington & Chelsea
· Project: Delivery of Internet Mapping System
Technologies: ArcIMS 4, ArcSDE, SQL Server, ASP, MS Access
I was responsible for user requirements capture, software design, development and delivery. A primary feature was the design of a security model allowing the delivery of sensitive data to discreet user groups. I also developed a data custodian system to maintain the lifecycle of the council’s spatial data collection.
September/November 2001 Contract: GIS Consultant Client: Intergraph (UK) Ltd.
· Project: Report on Local Authority E-Government Initiatives
Technologies: Internet Mapping Technologies
During my time at London Borough of Hackney, Intergraph (UK) Ltd approached me to undertake a study of E-government initiatives, strategies and use of internet mapping technologies within the London boroughs. My report was used as input into their local authority marketing strategy.
January 1999/January 2002 Position: GIS Development Client: London Borough of Hackney
· Project: Delivery of Internet Mapping System
Technologies: GeoMedia WebMap, SQL Server
I was responsible for user requirements capture, software design and delivery. The security model handled both public data for E-Government functionality and sensitive data for council employee access. The system was designed to cater for common geospatial requests. A search engine allowed searches across the council’s geospatial data collection. Users could also create thematic spatial queries such as deprivation & regeneration statistics.
· Project: Negotiation of Ordnance Survey SLA
I handled the service level agreements between Ordnance Survey and LB Hackney. As far as I know this was the first case of Ordnance Survey landline data delivery through the internet. Imbedded watermarks and slight projection modifications were made to the displayed map data to prevent theft.
· Project: Delivery of Mobile Mapping System
Technologies: ArcPad, ArcView 3
I provided a customised ArcPad system for a urban tree monitoring project. Data was captured by street officers using a handheld GPS-enabled device and results were then mapped on a local regeneration website.
