Born 1969 - Paris, I am a French/British Remote Sensing specialist, software designer, self-made-engineer and a writer. I was co-founder in InterAtlas a 3D aerial survey company that was purchased by Imao a european leader in aerial data acquisition in 2012.

Scottish through my father (publisher), Swedish through my late mother (artist), I grew up in Paris (France) where I was born.

Very young I learned to program with a New Brain computer and photography with a Nikon FM1, dyslexic I was frustrated in my studies that I stopped in high school.

When I reached 19 years of age I volunteered to serve in the french army as a paratrooper (Master corporal drill instructor), I worked afterwards in the security business for a few years.

I was educated in GIS and image analysis at Lovel Johns (UK), and in the Gobelins school (FR) of applied arts, print and digital media.

In 1996 I worked with Geo-Information (UK) an inovating publishing company who created off-the-shelf orthophotos of London, Berlin and Paris, I was responsable for the French market.

In 1997, Michel Somoguy and myself have founded InterAtlas to develop the off-the-shelf orthophotos market in France as a publisher.

From 2000 to 2005, Thierry Ruiz, Michel Somoguy and myself created a web-GIS technology offering online GIS tools and very quick acces to orthphotos.

In 2007 InterAtlas started oblique aerial acquisition, creating it's own system with a local/web viewer. InterAtlas was a leading company in 3D aerial survey and used Acute3D multi-view dense 3D reconstruction technology to create 3D cities.

During all these years and up to now I have been in charge of R&D, production and strategical developement.

I have worked for 25 years in aerial survey and 3D mapping with InterAtlas, today I'm the director of KGI (Khmer Geographic Institute),
Photogrammetry / Lidargrammetry - 3D - Orthophotos
