Alex is sought after in Canada and the United States for his subject matter expertise in photogrammetry, mapping (LiDAR), remote sensing, error propagation, and machine learning. What do all these tools have in common? The gathering and arranging of data systems relating to their positions on earth—a very straightforward definition of the complex realm of geospatial.
Fascinated by new technologies, Alex is a self-described lifelong learner and keeps current with the latest sensor development and state-of-the-art methods. With the advent of big-data, and open-source movement, geospatial is moving forward like never before. Applying new methodologies to old problems, he developed a new workflow for bathymetric river modelling, streamlining and automating the rapid collection of 513 kilometers (319 miles) of water reaches in northern Alberta. Serving on our Drone Oversight Committee and Geospatial Innovation Committee, he’s also the chief unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) pilot in Canada.
When he’s not in the office, or traveling to support project initiatives, Alex enjoys building cars, tinkering with small electronics, and snowboarding in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains.
