Patrick Hill
@patrickhill
GIS Developer specializing in Python, ArcGIS automation, and real-time geospatial data.
What I'm looking for
I’m a GIS Developer focused on building and synchronizing GIS across systems, creating SQL views for multi-source transformations, and automating ArcGIS Portal workflows. In my current role at Tata Consultancy Services, I’ve repaired a tool generating a Federal annual report, led specialists for large ETL GIS extraction, and engineered Python applications for natural gas pipeline GIS needs—including ArcGIS attribute automation with Arcade.
Previously, I built large-scale, cloud-based geospatial workflows (Azure Data Factories, Azure Event Hub, and AWS Lambda) for imagery, telemetry, and E911-to-feature-service pipelines. Before that, at Esri I delivered ArcGIS Pro intelligence geoprocessing tools, implemented unit testing, and developed military and real-time GIS components; I also worked as a Technical Architect at Esri and as a GIS Analyst/Developer contracted to the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
