Frank Forster

I have been passionate about GIS and everything around it since 2010. A generalist in data, my GIS experience within the French Army and in several private sector roles has gradually given me a comprehensive understanding of the GIS ecosystem. I am involved in all phases: requirements gathering, technical solution benchmarking, data and database repository creation, solution implementation, acceptance testing, procedures, training, and presentations. Always focused on uses/objectives, I find satisfaction in implementing technically and functionally demanding, sustainable solutions whose added value is easily explained. The challenge that stimulated and enriched me the most was the automated production of urban digital twins comprising multi-sector 2D and 3D data, which required the use of multiple solutions (FME, ArcGIS, 3D software).
