Summary
Andrew Cutts is a seasoned geospatial and Earth Observation specialist with 10+ years delivering GIS, remote sensing and Python-driven solutions across industry and government.

As a freelancer he has converted proprietary GIS tools to open-source Python, built complex road networks from commercial datasets, and routinely mentors and hires junior talent. He brings a pragmatic blend of consultancy, product prototyping and cloud-scaled EO processing honed in startups and large organisations like Schlumberger.
