What I Do

I manage GIS teams, support technical operations, and apply modern AI workflows to improve quality, documentation, and repeatable service delivery across utilities, forestry, and SaaS GIS environments.

What I Bring

Core Strengths

01

Geospatial Systems

15+ years across ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, utility operations, forestry, land records, and open-source GIS stacks.

02

Automation & Data

Python-driven geoprocessing, workflow automation, and spatial database engineering, from repeatable scripts and models to production-ready data pipelines.

03

AI & Agentic Workflows

AI-assisted and agentic coding with Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, and agent frameworks to accelerate prototyping, documentation, and process modernization.

04

Leadership & Adoption

Mentoring GIS teams, building training and documentation, supporting stakeholders, and driving practical system adoption.

GIS was the starting point, not the limit. I’m always building what comes next.
