Background

About Tom Haslam

I am a GIS Analyst specialising in geographic data science, spatial analytics, and environmental risk modelling, with a proven track record of delivering high-quality geospatial insights for complex real-world challenges. With an MSc in Geographic Data Science and a BA in Geography from the University of Liverpool, I bring both academic rigour and practical expertise to the application of spatial data in flood risk, environmental management, and infrastructure planning. My technical toolkit includes advanced proficiency in QGIS, ArcGIS, Python, SQL, R, and Linux, allowing me to automate geospatial workflows, conduct hydrological and hydraulic modelling, and analyse large-scale spatial datasets with precision and efficiency. I am experienced in using platforms like Google Earth Engine, as well as statistical packages such as SPSS, RStudio, and Excel for data visualisation and regression analysis. Currently at JBA Risk Management, I develop and optimise geospatial processes to support flood mapping and risk assessments. I regularly work across multidisciplinary teams, delivering tailored GIS solutions and clear technical presentations to clients and stakeholders. My focus on process automation, data integrity, and regulatory compliance ensures actionable and dependable outcomes.
