Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Martin is a CEO and cofounder with deep expertise in 3D spatial sciences, blending a PhD in geographic data science with two decades of hands-on quantitative and qualitative research. He builds next-generation spatial-first tools that fuse BIM, GIS, AI, and reality capture to democratize digital twins previously reserved for enterprise. At Twinworks and as Geospatial Strategist for the City of Ottawa he’s led real-time, multisensor digital twin programs—combining satellite, drone, LiDAR, RTK, and IoT—to transform 2D planning into living 3D cities. Previously he scaled an academic GIScience program, published extensively, and supervised interdisciplinary research and technical teams across three continents. Comfortable shipping production systems (Python, TensorFlow, CesiumJS, Unreal, Revit, FME) and pitching to investors alike, he bridges research rigor with product and business execution. He’s quietly focused on making advanced spatial tech accessible to real-estate and urban workflows, not just specialists.
