UW taught me many of the skills that I hope to bring to your business. The university's professors are at the cutting edge of the methods in geomatics and GIS programming. The project courses at UW gave me enough space so that I could work on topics I was passionate about, yet enough professional guidance so that I could make a good quality deliverable.
Using QGIS and municipal open data, this project acts as a tutorial into geographic data processing. The aim of this project is to determine which areas and types of road in general within the city of Kitchener are likely for a vehicle collison to occur.
