What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead geomatics teams, apply GIS and UAV workflows to infrastructure projects, and advance automated geospatial solutions while collaborating with multidisciplinary stakeholders.

I am a senior geomatics professional with extensive experience in GIS, surveying, and UAV data processing, combining technical expertise with hands-on field leadership across large infrastructure projects.

I have led and managed survey teams on major construction works including rail, highway, micro-tunneling and site formation, delivering high‑accuracy results and coordinating multidisciplinary stakeholders while controlling costs and resources.

Technically proficient in ArcGIS (Pro, Online, Enterprise), AutoCAD Civil3D, MicroStation, FME, Python automation, SQL, and laser scan/UAV workflows, I deliver reliable geospatial products, QA/QC processes, and innovative data solutions that support project decision-making.
