Sergio Ferreira
@sergioferreira2
GIS Specialist at IGAC who automated cadastral audits, cutting processing from three days to two hours.
What I'm looking for
At IGAC, I designed and led an automated quality control system for cadastral map updates, joining digitised geometries with institutional records to detect inconsistencies. I developed PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Python and JavaScript tools and an interactive dashboard, reducing an audit from three days per person to two hours of automated processing.
Earlier at IGAC, I analysed consistency across cadastral layers and legal documents, supervised digitising decisions, and developed initial automation scripts for assigning rural postal addresses. I also built a road network that was more complete than the municipality's previous official map.
At K2 Ingeniería, I modelled environmental impacts, including noise, air quality and pollutant dispersion, and validated models with field data. Across my work, I look for ways to improve geospatial processes through automation, traceability and reproducible methods.
