1. Infrastructure & Utility Data Unification

• Enzen Australia: Unified Electrical Network GIS: Integrated and harmonized Queensland’s disparate legacy electrical network databases into a single, standardized Geographic Information System (GIS) to streamline enterprise asset management and grid operations.
  
• City of Hobart: Municipal Road Markings Inventory: Created a comprehensive digital spatial inventory of road markings across Hobart, Tasmania, enabling predictive maintenance scheduling and modern urban transportation planning.
  
• SwarmFarm Robotics: Precision Paddock Boundary Mapping: Developed high accuracy digital field and boundary maps to support autonomous agricultural robotics and precision farming workflows.
  

2. Environmental Analytics & Remote Sensing

• Fugro: Coastal LiDAR Processing & Feature Extraction: Processed complex 3D point-cloud LiDAR data and performed automated/manual feature extraction to create precise environmental baselines for coastal resilience studies and climate adaptation planning.
  
• Queensland Department of Resources: Cadastre & Address Validation: Executed detailed road and address spatial data validation across the Sunshine Coast Regional Council area, while providing ongoing dataset updates to enhance the Queensland Spatial Cadastre.
  

3. Public Safety & Crisis Mapping Systems

• Brisbane City Council: Emergency Spatial Data Management: Maintained and structured critical spatial layers required for rapid disaster management, emergency mitigation, and municipal safety operations.
  
• Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT): Smartraveller Global Advisory Maps: Managed, formatted, and updated real-time geographic data layers driving the Australian Government’s official Smartraveller website travel safety maps.
