About

I replace hand-run processes with automated systems that check their own work and only escalate when needed.

At FilmLA, the nonprofit that coordinates film permits for the City and County of Los Angeles and other local jurisdictions, I modernized the legacy GIS deployment: I moved it from on-premises to the cloud, brought it up to current practice with all code in versioned repositories, then took it through a major version upgrade. The GIS supports the permit process and connects the agencies involved and their data into one process. I also run the systems around it: servers and storage, security and access, the APIs and data flows between applications, and monitoring.

I run local language, speech and vision models so data stays in-house, and use AI coding agents in a delivery pipeline with human approval at every release. From 2022 to 2026 I also consulted part-time on enterprise GIS and transportation data. Before that: project manager at Gistic Research on a multi-million-dollar ADOT contract and statewide NG911 work for every Arizona county, county NG911 data at Yavapai County, and teaching GIS at Embry-Riddle.
