About

As an experienced engineering and construction surveyor I love being part of an ecosystem of technology et innovation. My recent MBA complement well my technical knowledge and interest by intrapreneur which I practice regularly at Trimble,a global geospatial leader. My credentials reflect my passion for learning and applying new technologies and methodologies to the surveying industry.

As the Trimble Virtual World Product Manager, I leverage my skills in rapid prototyping, information technology, product management, emerging technology, and gamification to drive innovation in simulation, learning and training, and other related areas. I collaborate with Trimble's partners, education programs, and industry experts to raise awareness of geomatics and its potential to transform the way the world works. I also engage with users and develop business strategies to elevate this solution to new heights. My mission is to explore adjacent technologies and repurpose them for the company's business needs, while delivering quality and excellence.

    With the support of Beca and their survey teams around the country, I had a large involvement in the integration of new technology in daily work. This allowed us to reach new markets and provide better results to our clients.
    My research and development was mostly focused on laser scanning, 3D modelling, UAV (drone) and CAD drafting, but not exclusively. During my time at Beca, I helped develop tools and programs to improve productivity and solve challenges.
    A project that shows my strengths was the virtual reconstruction of a heritage building (Timeball) which collapsed after the 2011 earthquake. Due to the positive outcome, I had the honour to present at the FIG (International Federation of Surveyors) conference on behalf of Beca.
    Another project I completed while at Beca was the 3D monitoring of two fuel tanks damaged by a landslide in Lyttelton. As a result of our work, Beca received an award of excellence from Exxon Mobil.
    Throughout last year, my role evolved towards mentoring and spreading skills I learned to different teams to helped develop colleagues’ skill sets.

    Specialty: engineering survey, 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, CAD, drafting, Autodesk Civil 3D, Recap, Leica
