What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own production geospatial systems end-to-end—automate workflows, apply QA/QC, and turn ambiguous requirements into scalable client-ready analytics and dashboards.

I’m a GIS professional with 8 years of experience designing, operating, and maintaining production geospatial data systems in high-autonomy environments. After significant organizational restructuring, I assumed sole operational and technical responsibility for a GIS consulting and SaaS firm, owning client delivery, platform administration, and business operations.

I’ve led end-to-end design and technical execution of client-facing solutions, translating ill-defined problem statements into actionable, scalable data systems. I build and automate geospatial workflows with Python and ArcPy, and I deliver spatial intelligence through ArcGIS API for Python and interactive dashboards built with ArcGIS Experience Builder.

Across roles, I’ve driven standardization and QA/QC rigor—reducing manual effort in major ETL workflows by 80%—while mentoring junior staff on analytical methods and documentation standards. I also owned the complete development cycle for novel datasets at Michigan Technological University, including digitization, transcription, geocoding, and record-linkage, and I support stakeholders through clear reporting, presentations, and data visualizations.
