Summary

Status

Pilot / pre-production operation for internal B2E use; pre-sale architecture for B2B productization

Role

Systems Analyst / Solution Designer

Stack

Domain: Enterprise GIS, logistics, railway infrastructure; NDA: Detailed architecture, data models, and source code are confidential

Project value

Enterprise GIS platform for the logistics sector - visualization of corporate operational data on a map with spatial binding to railway infrastructure.

What this demonstrates

This project demonstrates experience in enterprise GIS systems, internal product development, B2B productization, geospatial data modeling, infrastructure isolation, on-premise deployment constraints, and communication between business stakeholders, architects, and development teams.

It is especially relevant to roles involving systems analysis, solution design, enterprise integration, GIS-enabled products, and MVP-to-product transition.

Context and Problem

Context

Product Context

The internal product addressed a practical enterprise problem: business users worked with complex operational reports, but the data was difficult to interpret without spatial context.

The system allowed users to visualize enterprise data on a map, link business metrics to railway infrastructure, work with map layers, and analyze objects in relation to the railway graph.

The external B2B direction reused the same infrastructure and architectural base, but required a more configurable model: client-specific layers, dynamic business metrics, on-premise deployment, and stricter product-level documentation.

Role and Responsibilities

Role and Contribution

My responsibilities included:

  • eliciting and formalizing business and functional requirements;
  • translating business needs into implementation tasks for developers;
  • preparing project documentation and architecture artifacts;
  • defining non-functional requirements for performance, security, deployment, and operation in a closed enterprise contour;
  • designing API contracts and target architecture for the B2B product direction;
  • preparing technical rationale and ADR-style notes for technology choices during the pre-sale phase;
  • configuring and deploying ad-hoc infrastructure components, including tile server and GIS routing components;
  • designing geospatial data processing logic and infrastructure editing scenarios;
  • supporting pre-production readiness activities.

System Model

Domain Model

Data Model

Configurable GIS Data Model

The transition from an internal ad-hoc system to a reusable B2B product required a more flexible model for layers, geometry, and business metrics.

Solution: Designed a relational/PostGIS-based data model that allowed configurable GIS layers and binding of GeoJSON geometry to business attributes and indicators.

This made it possible to describe map layers not as hardcoded screens, but as configurable business objects.

API Contracts

Architecture and Integrations

Architecture

Railway Infrastructure Binding

The source enterprise systems did not provide a single ready-to-use GIS graph for all required railway objects.

Solution: Designed logic for linking fragmented geospatial data to railway infrastructure objects and the track-segment graph. Participated in the design of visual editing tools for infrastructure data based on OpenLayers and backend services.

Reverse Engineering and Architecture Formalization

Part of the system relied on existing legacy components and undocumented implementation details.

Solution: Reconstructed and formalized the architecture of existing components. Prepared conceptual architecture artifacts, including C4 diagrams, ERD, DFD, and integration descriptions, to align business stakeholders and the development team.

Security, Quality, and Operations

Security and Access Model

Closed Enterprise Contour

Corporate security requirements did not allow reliance on external map providers or public routing APIs.
