Education: BS in geodesy and geomatics engineering, University of New Brunswick

In 2011, Fraser began his journey at the University of New Brunswick, aspiring to become a professional land surveyor. However, after graduation, he embarked on a career in remote sensing, joining a local aerial mapping company. Fraser developed expertise in the collection, processing, and analysis of topographic and topo-bathymetric lidar data, managing projects for both private and government clients. His interactions with project stakeholders and the public release of datasets reinforced his belief in the importance of accurate geospatial information for the success of critical infrastructure projects.

In 2018, he joined NV5, an engineering company, to help launch its drone lidar program. Starting with tasks like establishing workflows, automating data processing, and validating accuracy, he focused on transforming datasets—such as point clouds and imagery—into actionable information. Fraser worked his way up to program manager, a role that allowed him to lead and shape the program’s direction. While he enjoyed telling people that he “shot lasers from drones” for work, the opportunity to join Looq AI and develop an innovative new geospatial product was too exciting to pass up.

Fraser oversees every stage of development for the company’s innovative AI-powered mapping products, from initial concept to market launch. His mission goes beyond working with point clouds or complex datasets;. he is dedicated to building tools that empower users to work more efficiently, accurately, and affordably. He strives to make geospatial technology accessible and impactful for everyone who depends on it.
