Michael Cushen is a Senior GIS Analyst with 12 years’ experience building and maintaining national-scale spatial data systems, currently leading GIS, database and automation work at OneMap from Melbourne. He combines deep technical skills in Postgres/PostGIS, Geoserver, QGIS and Python/R with hands-on experience in cadastral management, automated update workflows and large map atlas production. His background spans consultancy and public-sector projects—award-winning urban landscape planning and Boston Parks’ open space planning—demonstrating an ability to translate complex spatial requirements into practical, repeatable solutions. Michael also has a strong training and UX sensibility, regularly delivering client workshops and documentation to ensure tools are adopted effectively. Unusually for a technical lead, he blends cartographic craft with business development and marketing to shape how spatial products are positioned and used.
