GIS QA Engineer
A single unnoticed topology error or mismatched CRS can quietly corrupt every analysis built on top of it, and by the time someone notices, the bad data has already shipped into reports and maps. This service puts a dedicated quality gate in front of your data publication process, running topology validation, metadata completeness checks, and CRS-consistency audits before anything goes live. It exists because QA is the first thing cut under deadline pressure and the first thing that costs you credibility when a client or regulator finds the error. We build the checks into your existing publication workflow rather than adding a slow, separate review cycle.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan — not a black box
- 1
Diagnose the current publication workflow to find where data quality checks are missing or inconsistent
- 2
Pilot a topology and metadata validation checklist against recent datasets to establish a quality baseline
- 3
Review flagged errors with data owners and agree on severity thresholds that block publication
- 4
Build the QA gate into the standing publication pipeline and operate it as ongoing review
