What I offer
I bring deep technology understanding, draw ideas and approaches from across disciplines,
and apply a practical implementation lens. Expect me to ask questions,
challenge assumptions and choices, and think deeply with you
to find solutions that can actually be implemented.
Strategic Design
You might be a team in government, research or industry shaping an initiative, setting
priorities, or seeking an independent assessment of an approach involving Earth
observation, spatial technologies or AI. You want to understand what is achievable and
what to consider before committing resources.
I work with you to clarify the problem and user needs. Together, we weigh technology
suitability, feasibility, costs and uncertainty. We consider what to build internally,
where existing solutions can help, and how collaboration across teams and organisations
can support your objectives. This helps you choose a direction and identify practical
next steps.
Typical engagements & outputs
A typical engagement might involve:
a focused independent review; workshops and stakeholder discussions to clarify
needs and options; development of a strategy or technology roadmap; or strategic
advice to help shape an initiative or technology direction.
Outputs might include:
an independent assessment; a brief or report setting out options, recommendations
and practical next steps; or a strategy or technology roadmap.
Solution Development
You might be a research or product team with a defined problem but no clear path to a
working solution. You need to determine which data and methods to combine and whether
the approach will work in practice.
I work with you to design and prototype a solution, combining Earth observation,
spatial data, AI and cloud technologies where they add value. We test it against user
needs, considering scalability, operational requirements and your existing capability
from the outset.
Typical engagements & outputs
A typical engagement might involve:
translating a defined need into a technical approach; assessing and selecting
suitable data, methods and technologies; developing and testing a proof of
concept or prototype; or reviewing and refining an existing solution design.
Outputs might include:
a documented solution design; a prototype or working workflow
with code and documentation; or an implementation plan outlining the steps,
requirements and resources needed to move into operation.
Operational Implementation
You might be a technical or delivery team with a promising prototype or an existing
workflow, but struggle to scale it reliably and cost-effectively or deploy it to meet
operational demands.
I advise and support your team as you scale, automate and improve workflows,
addressing performance, cost and integration. Alongside implementation, I help build
the capability needed to operate and maintain the solution.
Typical engagements & outputs
A typical engagement might involve:
reviewing a prototype or existing workflow for operational readiness; advising
on scaling and automation; identifying performance, cost and
integration issues; working with technical teams through implementation; or
addressing capability gaps for ongoing operation.
Outputs might include:
an operational readiness assessment; recommendations for scaling, automation
and optimisation; implementation guidance or a transition plan; and targeted
capability development, technical documentation or knowledge transfer.
Capability & Program Support
You might be leading a team or program with connected activities, competing priorities
and gaps in technical leadership or capability. You need support to coordinate the
work and make informed decisions as it progresses.
I work alongside you to provide strategic and technical leadership, support program
delivery and develop your team’s capability. My involvement adapts to the stage of the
work and what your organisation needs to sustain it.
Typical engagements & support
A typical engagement might involve:
providing part-time strategic or technical leadership; supporting the design,
establishment or delivery of an EO program or initiative; providing independent
technical advice across a program; developing team or organisational capability;
or helping coordinate work across technical teams, partners and stakeholders.
Outputs and support might include:
program or capability plans; technical or strategic advice and reviews;
capability assessments and development activities; program documentation and
decision support; or ongoing advisory support as the initiative evolves.
