using ownership parcel geometry with exact
addressing attributes (Electoral District &

| | GIS Operator | PLANTEC Inc. | | December 2000 - November 2001 | 200 Town Centre Blvd., Markham, ON, Canada | I fulfilled a contract for Bell Canada’s,
Scarborough office, at the Municipal Operations
Centre. Using CableCAD software, I was
responsible for the creation of all Digital Right of
Ways for the planning departments. I would also
asses and perform quality control on proposed
construction on and/or near Bell Canada’s
interests. |
| | | | Other Information | While employed as a GIS Technician with
Teranet, I have become proficient with both
Geomedia and Microstation (Oracle Spatial
RDBMS). My core function was to complete
updates on the property assessment cadastral
database using digital files, hardcopy survey
plans and UTM coordinate input as source
data. My other daily tasks involved using
spatial analysis & batch queries to identify
errors or anomalies in the RDBMS for
immediate update and to maintain integrity of
database. The position also required oral and
written communication with our stakeholders
(MNR, MPAC) and throughout my employment
I was a leader to my team in both quantity and
quality of work. Also during my time at
Teranet I sat on numerous committees and
was assigned many special projects.
During my two contracts at AGSI I was
assigned to work on the Elections Ontario –
Election Readiness project. Using ArcGIS we
would analyze, query and maintain the
ownership parcel geometry to identify all
possible voter locations with exact address
mapping. Once RDBMS creation was
completed, I helped to design and create
mapping products that would facilitate the
election process. When I was promoted to
Project Leader my main task was to train and
orient all clients (Returning Officers) on how to
read and use mapping products and my core
duties were to manage workloads for the
onsite team members, incorporate clients
changing needs and report on completion
status of deliverables.
Recently I have completed the Advanced
Digital Geography and GIS Certificate from
Ryerson University which stressed a high level
of statistical analysis, RDBMS
creation/management and programming (C#).
This was coupled with real world working
experiences in project management. I was a
member of a small team that completed an
automation project for land severances in
Hastings County which has now been
implemented by their planning department.
