TECHNICAL SKILLS:

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Wood group, GIS Analyst, April 2024 to Present 

• Workflow Automation: Leveraged FME and Python to automate large-scale GIS workflows, utilising libraries such as GeoPandas and Shapely to transform complex raw data into structured spatial layers, significantly reducing manual processing time.

• Infrastructure Delivery: Lead the creation, visualisation, and spatial analysis of complex routing projects, ensuring high-precision data alignment for large-scale utility assets.

• Custom Tooling: Developed automation scripts using PyQGIS and ArcPy to streamline data validation and ensure consistency of spatial outputs across multi-disciplinary project teams.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams to ensure that GIS systems, geodatabases, and web services are performant, secure, and fit for purpose.

• Statutory Cartography: Produce technically accurate and visually compelling maps and plans to support infrastructure planning.

• System Administration: Administer and manage cloud-hosted WebGIS applications, ensuring that real-time spatial data is accessible to multidisciplinary teams and external clients.

• Standards & Quality: Take joint ownership of the development of GIS technical standards, ensuring that data management practices across onshore and offshore projects are rigorous and reproducible.

University of Aberdeen, MSc Geographic Information Systems, Jan 2023 to Dec 2023

• Spatial Analysis: Conducted complex geospatial analysis of environmental constraints to inform decision-making for railway route selection and wildlife conservation.

• Advanced Modelling: Applied Map Algebra and Fuzzy Analysis to resolve competing commercial and environmental constraints for large-scale land development.

• Remote Sensing: Processed LiDAR and Satellite imagery using Rasterio and other geospatial libraries to create high-accuracy base maps for infrastructure planning.

• WebGIS Development: Built interactive mapping applications using a combination of ArcGIS Online and custom HTML/JS (Leaflet).
