What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to apply my comprehensive technical skillset and industry knowledge to advance geospatial innovations while contributing to strategic business objectives.

At Duke Energy Corporation, I engineer mapping applications with Angular JS and TypeScript, integrating Deck.gl, Mapbox, and ArcGIS JavaScript API. I also design PostGIS schemas in AWS Aurora RDS and develop Python data pipelines.

At Los Alamos National Laboratory, I scoped, designed, built, and migrated highly available enterprise Portal environments. I also maintained GIS data schemas in Oracle databases and installed ArcGIS Enterprise Server roles.

As a GIS Engineer at Duke Energy Corporation via contract, I designed and administered enterprise GIS environments, automated administration with Python APIs, and developed ETL pipelines integrating business systems with SQL geodatabases. I deployed pipelines in Docker containers managed via Kubernetes.

Earlier, at Lowe’s Companies, I provided geospatial analysis that informed store-development investments. My research at North Carolina State University included developing a Python library to determine spatially explicit environmental impacts from biomass products.
