    Currently seconded from the Swedish Geological Survey (SGU), where I previously worked on marine geospatial data integration, seabed mapping, and national data infrastructure for environmental and spatial planning. I also contributed to the delivery of an international marine spatial data training programme in East Africa and to the development and regional implementation of the WIO-Symphony decision-support system (funded by SIDA).
