OPERATIONAL DIRECTIVE // PRINCIPAL DIGITAL PLATFORM STRATEGIST

I am Christopher Fleming. I take messy, disconnected industrial data across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) and turn it into clean, reliable web software people actually enjoy using. My work covers browser-based Leaflet GIS mapping, automated AER Directive 088 regulatory pipelines, pipeline corridor routing (NGTL/TMX), DLS subdivision math on EPSG:4269 (NAD83), and structured knowledge graphs for AI search engines.

Latitude of Execution

Unconventional Alignment.
Pragmatic Scale.

Turning tangled industrial data into clean, working digital platforms.

Most enterprise operations run on a digital junk drawer—spreadsheets that don't talk to each other, maps that crash browsers, and metrics nobody fully trusts. Over the last twenty years, I have built single sources of truth, designed analytics architectures, and launched full-stack platforms that turn operational chaos into straightforward tools.

The 5th Meridian Standard

In surveying, a meridian is the fixed line of reference you measure everything against. That is how I build software: zero buzzword hype, zero over-engineered bloat—just clear pipelines and interfaces that do their job.

If a system doesn't make life easier for the person using it, I rebuild it until it does. Data should flow with purpose, and software should ship.

“Design sets the course; execution ships the system.”

03 // Capabilities

What I Build

01 // Interactive GIS

Fast Browser Maps

Leaflet maps that render WCSB telemetry and DLS grids quickly—no advanced GIS degree required to use them.

02 // Clean Data Pipelines

Automated Workflows

Automated pipelines that connect messy databases to clean dashboards, so teams stop re-keying the same numbers by hand.

03 // Modern SGEO

Answers AI Can Cite

I structure websites so both humans and AI search engines find the exact answer—and know it came from the right source.
