Anis H.
Senior GIS & Hydraulic Engineer | QGIS/ArcGIS PostGIS - Python | 17+ Y
I build and manage enterprise GIS systems for water and sanitation infrastructure — the kind that run 24/7 and serve hundreds of operators in the field. As Head of GIS at Tunisia's National Sanitation Office, I designed and deployed a national-scale GIS covering 20,000+ km of sanitation networks, used daily by 300+ operators for planning, maintenance, and investment decisions. This was a €1.3M AFD-funded digital transformation project that I led from scoping through production over 5 years. What sets me apart: I combine deep GIS/geomatics expertise with hydraulic engineering — a rare profile that lets me understand both the data infrastructure and the physical networks it represents. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU: → Spatial Database Design & Management PostgreSQL/PostGIS architecture, enterprise geodatabases (SDE), data migration, ETL pipelines with FME Desktop. I've designed and managed databases covering 20,000+ km of infrastructure networks. → Web GIS Application Development Full-stack web mapping with Lizmap, QGIS Server, GeoServer, Leaflet, and OpenLayers. I've built production platforms including an epidemiological monitoring system and a national network management application. → GIS Automation & Data Processing Python/PyQGIS scripting that reduced our spatial data processing time by 40%. Custom geoprocessing workflows, batch cartographic production, automated quality control. → Mobile Field Data Collection QField/QFieldSync solutions for field teams. I designed a mobile data collection app that improved field data accuracy by 60% for 50+ field agents. → Cartography & Spatial Analysis Professional thematic mapping, multi-criteria analysis for infrastructure planning, network rehabilitation prioritization. ArcGIS Pro 3.x and QGIS advanced analysis. → Hydraulic Modeling Integration HEC-RAS, MIKE URBAN, EPANET, SewerGEMS — with the ability to integrate modeling results into GIS for visualization and decision support. CREDENTIALS: - Master's in Geomatics + Engineering Degree in Civil Engineering/Hydraulics (ENIT, Tunisia) - 17+ years of progressive experience in GIS and infrastructure management - 8+ donor-funded projects managed (AFD, EIB) — total budget ~€4.5M - ISO 19115/19139/INSPIRE metadata standards expertise - Trilingual: Arabic (Native), French (Fluent), English (Professional) I'm available for projects worldwide and work comfortably across time zones. Let's discuss how I can help with your geospatial challenge.
