Lee Whitmore – GIS Analyst
0400 920 426
My name
is Lee Whitmore and I am a GIS Analyst.
I have recently returned from 12 months overseas in Canada and am ready
and eager to continue my career in GIS.
I am looking to pursue a position that will strengthen my current
knowledge and experience in GIS.
I have
over four years experience using GIS software including ArcGIS, MapInfo and
Pathfinder Office. I have used software applications to design and develop GIS
products. I have skills and knowledge in spatial data structures, data
analysis, data modelling and data management.
I have experience in capturing and interpreting GIS data.
In my
most recent GIS position as Alert Point Analyst I was responsible for producing
and delivering the Alert Point database of safety points for navigational devices.
These included speed cameras, level crossings and black spot locations for the
entire area of Australia. I developed
strong management skills as I assisted in the development of this GIS product.
With each release of the database I had to carefully plan what alert point features
needed to be updated and what new features needed to be added to the database. I gained experience in sourcing GIS maps and data
from government organisations as well as motoring bodies.
I have
excellent time management skills as managing time was a critical component in
making sure that the tasks were completed and the database released on time. For each release in the development of the
database new features were added to the database which meant there was not
enough time to complete required tasks.
On such occasions I had to coach and coordinate a small number of contractors
to ensure the database tasks would be completed.
To
ensure that the database’s quality maintained its highest standard I created a
thorough quality check procedure which I was able to implement into the
database. With over 20,000 points in the
database the quality check ensured that all Alert Points were located correctly
against the current road network data and that all the Alert Point attributes
were correct. Using ArcGIS tools, SQL
queries and Python scripts I was able to improve the quality of the database to
99.8% accuracy.
In a
previous position at the same company, I gained knowledge and experience in the
capture and analysis of GIS data. I have
experience in using ASPEN, Trimble, GIPSI Track and ARRB Hawkeye software and
hardware to capture Australian road network data. I have experience in creating drive plans;
scheduling areas of road that need to be captured and what attributes are required. I have experience in analysing and converting
captured GIS data for use in GIS applications.
I
completed a Bachelor of Science degree in 2004 at the University of
Tasmania. I have an interest in science
and the environment and completed a double major in Zoology and Geography and
Environmental Sciences. My ideal career
move would be to use my GIS experience in a role where I could use my science degree. Examples would be to monitor environmental
changes, track animal populations, monitor land usage. That being said I’d also like to plan and
make road networks safer, map economic changes, use GIS to improve farming
practices. I am open for any employment
position that will strengthen my current skills.
I plan
to relocate to any Australian city or town for the right opportunity. I look
forward to having an opportunity to meet with potential employers. I am available at any time for an interview. I can be contacted by mobile on 0400 920 426
