Josh Scrabeck
@joshscrabeck
Geospatial data engineer specializing in data pipelines, spatial analysis, and environmental decision-making.
What I'm looking for
I am a geospatial data engineer with hands-on experience building ETL pipelines, cleaning and analyzing large-scale spatial and energy datasets, and deploying ML models to inform environmental and infrastructure decisions. I have delivered production analytics and BI products using Python, SQL, Spark, DBT, Snowflake, and Azure/Databricks while supporting stakeholders across public health, utilities, and private energy sectors.
I have driven projects ranging from automated parcel analysis for green stormwater infrastructure to fleet telemetry and PV/battery simulation models, and I regularly translate complex spatial data into actionable reports and dashboards with Tableau and Esri tools. I value rigorous data engineering, reproducible workflows, and pragmatic modeling that supports measurable impact for urban and environmental programs.
