About Alan
With an extensive background in mathematics, computer science, and over two decades of GIS experience, I offer you a unique learning journey. Qualifications from the University of Kent at Canterbury, The Open University and the University of Aberdeen combined with my career in both Mathematics (stats) and GIS has put me in a position of a huge amount of academic and commercial experience.
My career spans local and central government roles, as well as positions in both small and large corporations. Currently, I work as a GIS software and data architect for a leading UK company, thus ensuring my knowledge is cutting-edge and industry-relevant.
