What I do

This page is a brief introduction to the types of work that I have done, what I like to do and what I am interested in. I am a big believer in allowing people to learn and push themselves, and I think the modern workplace often restricts people to a single specialism when they have so much more to offer. The generalist is often undervalued!

With that in mind, I often describe myself as an environmental technologist with a career in Earth observation.

Areas I can help with

• Research and solutions around spatial and environmental problems
• Project delivery and project management
• Data manmagement and pre-processing of all sorts of data
• Data processing using open source tools
• Training and communication, including workshops, podcasts and videos
• Strategic thinking for business development

Basically, if it’s interesting and I’m available then I’d love to collaborate with you and your team.

Specific skill areas

• Remote sensing workflows and processing
• Workflow architecture design
• Open source GIS technical skills including spatial data science
• Spatial strategy design and implementation
• Scientific communication
• Open standards advocacy
• Home energy advice and advocacy

Future developments

I am currently interested in returning to undertaking some outdoor work. At the start of my career I undertook land cover and vegetetion surveys as well as supporting hydrology fieldwork and would like to return to a bit more outdoor work. As such I am currently developing skills in drone piloting and data processing, and field survey (e.g. UKHabs).

My interests are specifically in plants, vegetation and habitats but I am keen to garner new skills and experience where I can. If you would like an additional reliable person to help with your surveys then do get in touch.
