PORTFOLIO
📞📞+61 4 4719 0396
Please note, this is only a summary please refer to my
online portfolio for my full portfolio and links to my online
web interfaces.
Why me?

I have a strong passion and knowledge in GIS mapping applications and visual art/ design, by combing these together I have been
able to build strong capacity on GIS, online web applications. Through these web applications it allows me to create visually
appealing interactive, online data applications – which utilizes both my skills in technical GIS applications and design.

ArcGIS Online – Story Web Applications

ArcGIS online story map illustrating the affects, causes,
issues, locations and case studies of urban poverty. This stop
map includes interactive GIS maps, images, graphics and
information presented in a non-technical, attractive way – to
spread awareness on this global issue. Please view here.
Interactive, online, web application presenting information
on Wildlife Trafficking in Africa. This story map was made
using data from WEMS/ RIMES, and aims to present the
statistics and facts on wildlife trafficking in an easy to
interpret, attractive manner. Please view here.

Online Portal – Disaster Risk UAV Mapping

ArcGIS online web map portal made for the Sri Lankan
Urban Water Center to display their flood simulation data.
Throughout this project I undertook GIS analysis on big data
sets, creating vector and raster layers. These were then
uploaded to ArcGIS Online to create advanced web
applications to show case the flood simulation data for
comparison and summary. Please view the online map here.
I undertook a small project using a UAV/ drone on an
automated flight plan to capture imagery. After acquiring the
imagery it was processed using photogrammetry software
to create georeferenced ortho-mosaics, digital surface
models and 3D models. These products can then be
combined with GIS data to create a data set. Please view the
online map here.

COVER LETTER

📞📞+61 4 4719 0396 November 2018

Hello,
My name is Ayeisha Sheldon and I am an Australian, graduated from a Bachelor of Geographical Science at the
University of Queensland. I very knowledgeable in the fields of GIS and geo-spatial technical applications and
have recently been expanding my knowledge on space application/ geospatial policy, while working at the United
Nations and other international academic institutions.

During the last two years I was a research associate at the GeoInformatics Center, at The Asian Institute of
Technology, where I grew my practical knowledge, on real world GIS applications. I worked on projects using GIS
and remote sensing for improving disaster resilience in developing countries, namely Sri Lanka. I also worked on
large projects that were funded in partnership with NGOs, including the World Bank, United Nations and JAXA
(The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency). I was also was a trainer in multiple training programmes held at the
University, which included fields on Drone/ UAV technologies and GIS/ Online Web GIS, where I training
government experts and officials in these fields.

One of my biggest achievements was being asked to speak at the Girls in ICT day on 27th April 2018, which was
a world event hosted by the International Telecommunications Unit (ITU). I attended the Bangkok, Thailand
session which was hosted by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society Thailand, in partnership with UNESCO,
FAO and CISCO - titled "Agritech Using ICTs". I was able to share my knowledge and experience being a women
in the industry and I shared my research and studies on using UAV/ drone technology in the fields of agriculture
mapping.

During the past seven months I have been working as a consultant in the Space Applications Section of the ICT
for Disaster Risk Reduction Division at the United Nations Economic Social Commission for the Asia Pacific
(ESCAP) in Bangkok, Thailand and am seeking job opportunities back in Australia. During my time overseas
believe I have learnt many life skills, both personal and professional, which give me a unique perspective on the
working environment. Being apart of the international sector taught me how to adapt to new situations,
overcome barriers, how to work in teams with people from different cultural and religious backgrounds, but
most importantly how to build resilience as a person.

I am a very outgoing and social person, who isn’t afraid to step outside of my comfort zone. I am a reliable, team
player, who has strong communication skills and thrives in team environments. I would be honoured to
contribute my skills and knowledge to your workplace.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me, look forward to hearing from you soon,

Best Regards,
Ayeisha Sheldon
