Message

At Firstgas, I provide technical leadership and GIS solution design support while administering the organisation’s Enterprise GIS platform. I integrate data management systems with GIS and develop web map applications, dashboards, and mobile apps using ArcGIS tools.

I maintain spatial asset information and GIS standards to support data integrity, and use spatial analysis to inform business decisions. I also work with internal stakeholders and third-party clients and support continuous improvement initiatives.

Previously, at City of Cape Town, I worked on the Enterprise Geographic Information System, building applications and geodatabases, automating GIS tasks, and resolving integration issues. At Esri South Africa, I supported clients and collaborated on the ArcGIS for Local Authorities project, helping transform manual town planning processes into electronically managed spatial-based systems.
