Blaze Schmidt
@blazeschmidt
GIS Analyst delivering geospatial analysis and GIS products for client outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a GIS Analyst who provides a geographic component to clients’ consulting requests, translating complex spatial needs into clear, usable results. Most recently, I worked at Stantec Consulting in the Water department, supporting external clients with practical geospatial analysis.
I specialize in ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online, building solutions that range from static map layouts to real-time maps. I’ve worked with ArcGIS Online Maps, Dashboards, Experience Builder applications, and Survey123 and Field Maps surveys, along with Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and Adobe tools.
Beyond delivery, I focus on the data foundation: maintaining databases, including utility networks and asset-management-oriented information. I’ve created and managed digital GIS databases (e.g., water infrastructure), supported field teams with data management, and simplified ArcGIS Online products for end users.
My interests also shape how I approach work—historic preservation of cities, urban transit planning, digital geographic tools, and cartographic design. I’m now looking for roles in the field of data and analytics, including GIS work, asset management, data science, project management, and related fields.
