Summary
Rémi Bovard is a seasoned geomatics engineer with 12 years of experience designing and operating municipal GIS solutions across Swiss local governments, currently leading geomatics projects for Ville de Vevey and Cartoriviera. He combines deep technical expertise in PostGIS, QGIS, FME and webmapping stacks (GeoServer, MapServer, OpenLayers) with hands-on migration experience from legacy systems like Topobase to modern platforms such as TEKSI. A proven trainer and collaborator, he supports users, runs courses at HEIG‑VD, and coordinates regional projects like GeoMapFish and Geocity, bridging operational needs and technical delivery. He’s equally comfortable writing Django- and TypeScript-based geoapps as he is modelling spatial data and automating ETL, and maintains active technological watch to keep municipal geoinformation practices current. Notably, his background spans both field surveying and web application development, giving him a rare end-to-end perspective on the geodata lifecycle.
