Back where my journey began…
I’m in west Cornwall close to the shore of Mount’s Bay and things have been very busy since the moment I arrived. Three prospective client calls and a fourth in the pipeline suggest I’m doing something right.
My goal this summer has always been to ‘build capability’. I have long seen myself as a generalist, with specialism in remote sensing and LiDAR in particular.
Yet over the past three or four years, I’ve led teams and managed projects that encompass the broader geospatial and Earth observation sectors. I’ve also worked on the periphery of platform development and software design.
For me, this suggests that ensuring my business remains multidisciplinary – as well as impartial – is vital. So I’m working towards a qualification in user experience and user interface (UI/UX) research and design.
This should formalise a big part of my recent work history. I’m also looking to make use of my surroundings, and the fantastic ESA Copernicus datasets, to refresh my understanding of optical remote sensing in the coastal zone.
With luck and a good wind behind me, I hope to share news of exciting projects and ideas which straddle traditional disciplines later this year.
