Vision
Geospatial technology has moved beyond the desktop into the world of cloud-native data engineering. The real value of location data emerges when it flows through containerized, distributed, event-driven pipelines — designed for reproducibility, cost transparency, and scale.
That data only creates value once people can act on it. Alongside the pipelines, I build the full-stack applications that put it to work: TypeScript and NodeJS APIs, React frontends, and interactive maps and dashboards on top of the same cloud-native foundations.
With 15+ years across utilities, environmental monitoring, land surveying, and product development, I bridge deep geospatial domain expertise with modern infrastructure and full-stack development to build bespoke solutions, end to end. Every engagement starts from first principles — understanding the data, the domain, and the decision it needs to support — then architecting something pragmatic, maintainable, and viable.

- The Resume covers the technology stack and a selection of reference projects; the full career history lives on LinkedIn.
- The Grids pages walk through individual grids (electric, fibre, rail, road, etc.) using open or reproducible mock data.
- The Technologies page covers the principles behind the stack and links to how this site is itself built — cloud-native, query-cached at build, served as static content from a Scaleway bucket.
