Matthew Luke • GIS, data & full-stack automation
5+ years across rail, mining, government and consulting. I translate messy data into reliable GIS, ETL, dashboards, and lightweight apps that teams actually use.
Geoscience-trained, steady under pressure, and comfortable shifting between rail signals, tailings data, bushfire sensors, and council assets.
Story. Geologist turned GIS/data specialist who likes making spatial data dependable and understandable. I focus on listening, mapping workflows, and keeping documentation clear so teams can keep moving.
How I work. Listen → map the workflow → ship small fast → harden → document. Hands-on build (Python/PowerShell/FME/SQL) paired with calm updates for stakeholders who don’t live in GIS.
Clear scope, transparent steps, and built to drop into your environment.
ArcGIS Enterprise/AGOL deployments, permissions, Experience Builder maps, and lightweight web tools.
FME Flow/Form, Python/PowerShell, SQL spatial analytics, robust logging, error handling, and validation.
Publish feature services, ingest GeoJSON/shapefiles, and tie into your preferred stack (cloud or on-prem).
Data dictionaries, schema standards, ETL playbooks, and handover packs so teams can operate confidently.
Short engagement to deliver an audit + roadmap before full build.
Rolls into the full engagement as the agreed scope, first sprint plan, and delivery roadmap.
Short, outcome-led engagements that ship value fast without dragging teams into long timelines.
Get a clear system map, risk register, and ROI-aligned roadmap so decision-makers can greenlight the right fixes.
Deliver a scoped release (automation, map experience, or data pipeline) with QA, monitoring, and handover-ready docs.
Keep critical workflows stable with proactive improvements, rapid triage, and continuous optimisation.
Selected projects with outcomes, not just tools. See the live demos on the Portfolio page.
Helped shift AGOL into Enterprise, stood up core maps, and tied in automation for publishing.
Documented data handling, added validation and logging, and cut ingestion time with better QA.
Rebuilt AGOL/FME workflow with QA gates; reduced processing time and freed analysts for higher-value work.
Set up metadata, ETL, and SQL governance for incoming project data; documented functions and exports.

I’ll suggest a short online chat (Teams/Zoom/etc.) to confirm scope and a clear path forward.
Interactive geology workflows.
Map-led filtering with comps, highlight tools, and quick sorting.
Multi-day trip view with map routes, day toggles, and activity filters.
Inspect a synthetic Melbourne park capture with point cloud, mesh, and DEM layers. Orbit, pan, and elevation gradients reveal subtle terrain changes.
Measure dominant texture orientations with gradient and structure tensor analysis, plus export-ready histogram bundles.
