GIS specialist and geospatial data analyst, leveraging 10+ years in LiDAR and remote sensing to improve AI geospatial reasoning.
Costa RicaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a GIS Specialist and Geospatial Data Analyst with 10+ years of hands-on experience in GIS, LiDAR, remote sensing, and spatial data analysis. I’m uniquely positioned to evaluate, annotate, and improve AI model outputs in geospatial reasoning, cartography, and location intelligence.
In my current role with ArcGIS Solutions for Local Government, I implement ArcGIS workflows using Survey123, FieldMaps, and Experience Builder. I design and configure geospatial applications with a strong focus on data accuracy, consistency, and spatial reasoning quality.
I also bring a proven ability to identify errors in technical outputs and translate complex spatial requirements into structured, documented workflows. That same domain expertise is directly transferable to AI output evaluation and improving the reliability of location intelligence.
Previously, I led end-to-end LiDAR, orthophoto, and bathymetric survey projects, overseeing classification, digital model generation, and orthomosaic production pipelines. Earlier technical and field experience—GNSS control points, terrestrial 3D scene generation for UNESCO World Heritage sites, and seismological station inventory support—shaped my disciplined approach to geospatial data quality.
