Meet Our Team

Catherine has been with the company since 2012, and has fulfilled a number of roles in the GIS industry.

Catherine oversees some of the operational elements of the Operations Team who provide professional GIS Consultancy, Training and Support services to our customers.

Catherine is a busy Mum and hails from New Zealand.

Charles joined thinkWhere in May 2018 as a Consultant. Prior to joining thinkWhere, Charles spent over 4 years working in the renewable energy industry, providing GIS support for a variety of projects.

Outside work, Charles enjoys reading, trail running and swimming.

Colin has over 20 years of experience in the GIS industry across all aspects of GIS since his first job digitizing OS LandLine mapping for Ordnance Survey’s Rural Revision programme. Colin provides the lead on technical projects for developing GIS applications, with a focus on managing our OpenSource cloud infrastructure.  Colin also runs our Postgres administration training course.

Dafydd joined the Operations Team in September 2019 following successful completion of CodeClan’s intensive 16-week Professional Software Development course in Glasgow.

Originally from Aberystwyth, Wales, he has been fascinated by maps and cartography since an early age, and now enjoys combining his newly developed software development skills with these long held passions.

Outside of work he is a keen hiker and backpacker – in 2017 he hiked the Te Araroa trail, a long distance trail running the length of New Zealand. He now hikes closer to home and is slowly working his way through the Munros and Corbetts whenever the weather allows!

Duncan is one of our Consultants.

Duncan’s job within thinkWhere varies from data management, to delivering training and support to customers, and working on specific GIS projects.

Duncan says “Of all the staff I’m probably the one most likely to stand out, once being described  as looking like a cross between a hipster and a pro-skateboarder. When not trying to convince you that GIS is cool, I can be found podcasting, running and adding to my expanding collection of tattoos (I’m running out of space).”

Heather joined the Operations Team in May 2019 after completing CodeClan’s 16 week professional software development course.

Heather’s background is in Outdoor Education, Ski Instructing and Active Schools.

In her spare time, Heather enjoys walking her dogs, running, hiking, geocaching, skiing, rock climbing (anything active) and relaxing!

Ian is a software developer at thinkWhere and has a love for designing and building geospatial web applications using a variety of technologies including AngularJS, OpenLayers, Geoserver, Python and PostGIS. 

Ian is also an Agile Scrum Master, which “gives me a great opportunity to help improve the software development process here at thinkWhere”.  Outside of work Ian loves spending time with his young family, home-brewing, cycling and tinkering with his many bicycles.

Kirsten joined the thinkWhere Operations Team as a Consultant in May 2018, and has a background working with GIS in both Civil Engineering and the Environmental sectors. Interests outside of work include running, orienteering and fundraising for the charity Mind. In addition, Kirsten enjoys more creative hobbies such as baking, knitting, photography and gardening.

A member of the Operations team, the majority of Neil’s time is spent managing the background mapping and third party data we provide through our hosted services and online applications.

Neil also provides customer support on everything from desktop GIS to our own bespoke systems.

Neil has had a fascination for maps from an early age which may have had some influence on his choice of career!
