Overview

GeoRis iM is a real-time 3D technical assurance platform designed for mining operations. It brings spatial mine data, technical sign-offs, compliance workflows and automated reporting into a single interactive environment.

The platform is currently deployed across multiple operational mine sites for a major Australian mining company.

My Role

Product Owner & Full-Stack Engineer

I have end-to-end ownership of the product, translating mining and technical assurance requirements into production software.

My responsibilities span:

• Product design and requirements
• Frontend and backend engineering
• 3D and geospatial development
• Cloud architecture and infrastructure
• CI/CD and production deployments
• Monitoring and operational support

The Problem

Mining technical assurance involves complex workflows around engineering verification, compliance and sign-off. These processes need to be understood in the context of the mine itself.

The platform connects them directly with interactive 3D mine data, allowing technical information and spatial context to be managed together.

What I Built

3D & Geospatial

• Interactive browser-based 3D mine visualisation
• Georeferenced model processing
• Easting and Northing measurement tools
• Aerial imagery and surface texture mapping
• Model optimisation and compression pipelines
• Tools for interacting with spatial mining data

Technical Assurance & Automation

• Technical assurance and sign-off workflows
• Drilling and operational workflows
• Automated PDF reporting
• Document generation
• Email and notification systems
• Spreadsheet and Excel functionality
• Data visualisation and graphing

Full-Stack Engineering

I designed and implemented the complete application stack, including frontend architecture, APIs, backend services, database architecture and application state management.

Cloud & DevOps

I designed and manage the production environment on AWS, including:

• CloudFront
• EC2
• S3
• Web Application Firewall
• CloudWatch monitoring, logging and alerts
• Dockerised application deployments
• GitHub-based CI/CD
• Production monitoring and operational support

Impact

The platform has progressed from product development into production deployment across multiple operational Australian mine sites.

My role has covered the complete lifecycle: understanding industry requirements, designing solutions, implementing them, deploying the infrastructure and supporting the resulting production system.
