The Value of Geospatial Data in Civil Engineering with Carrie Wiley of Nearmap

Published: July 14, 2020, 8 a.m.

Today’s guest is Carrie Wiley, a technical sales engineer who has been working with Nearmap for over a year now. Nearmap is an Australia-born company focused on imagery technology and location data, that provides frequently-updated and high-resolution geospatial data of countries like Australia, the United States, Canada and New Zealand.

Carrie’s interest in the subject began while still in her sophomore year, when she took a GIS (Geographic Information System) course. Although she has always been interested in computer programming courses, the GIS course turned out to be the most valuable one for her, given that she went on to use the knowledge she had acquired in this course in her very first job at a large public agency. Then, she had the opportunity to pursue a master’s program in Geoinformatic, when she got even closer to the capabilities and utilities of GIS.

Within Nearmap, she is part of the technical sales engineering team, where she has the opportunity to work with the customers, figuring out how they can integrate imagery into their workflows, in addition to being able to work and interact with other teams within the company itself. Nearmap has significantly changed the geospatial data industry within a relatively short time period, and there’s more yet to come due to features such as Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, check out this episode to get a much more detailed view on the subject and don’t forget to register for Nearmap’s customer event called NAVIG8, taking place on virtual mode this year, in early August.
