Enterprise IT, transportation and public-safety data.

Modernized the legacy GIS deployment behind FilmLA’s film permit process, which connects the agencies involved into one process, and run the systems around it.

• Moved the GIS (100+ services, 150+ feature classes) from on-premises to the cloud with separate dev, test and prod environments, then took it through a major version upgrade, custom plugins and integrations included
• Rebuilt a 2009-era location-scouting application with self-hosted vision-model tagging
• Cut $30K a year by rightsizing the GIS environment
• Put patching and releases under IT change management, with one-click deploy and rollback
• Run servers, storage, security and access
• Build data pipelines into BigQuery, with custom spatial connectors
• Built a web editor for jurisdiction boundaries that archives every version
• Built a one-click tunnel manager for Google Cloud VMs, secure by default
• Run local AI models and an AI-assisted delivery pipeline

Transportation data and enterprise GIS work for highway agency clients, alongside my FilmLA role.

• Developed HPMS data for a highway agency’s federal reporting
• Worked on road junction model building
• Administered ArcGIS Enterprise and Portal
• Maintained and migrated SDE geodatabases
• Automated workflows in Python
• Wrote proposals and mentored staff

Project manager on a multi-million-dollar contract with ADOT’s Multimodal Planning Division, and on statewide NG911 work for every Arizona county. My work touched every ADOT dataset, including critical and sensitive infrastructure. I built the tooling behind both in SQL, Python and FME.

• ADOT: data governance, ETL and executive dashboards for the statewide road network, including a pavement dashboard moved from Tableau to ArcGIS Online, and the State Highway System logs republished after an eight-year gap.
• Arizona 9-1-1 Program Office: led development of the statewide address validation platform, including an ArcGIS Pro add-in, with semi-monthly training and one-on-one support for its users.
• Helped build a shared library of about 59 reusable FME tools for linear referencing, and reviewed and standardized the team’s FME workspaces.
• Arizona DPS: modernized and automated statewide NG911 data aggregation with FME and Python.
• Built a Python tool that parses addresses inside ArcGIS Pro with AI and NLP engines, and helped train the parser models.
• Wrote bids and proposals, and ran the company’s virtual booth at AASHTO GIS-T 2021.

Taught GEO 210, Introduction to GIS.

• Built the course: lecture decks, a midterm study guide, a final project and a grading rubric
• Taught it online in spring 2021, with a 12-lecture package, and in person in fall 2021
• Taught in ArcMap, with Canvas and Zoom

Took over county GIS systems dating back to 2013, moved them to the cloud and upgraded them. Converted the legacy 9-1-1 datasets to the NENA NG911 standard across more than 8,000 square miles.

• Ran about 200 Python scripts: parcel imports, weekly updates for 11 cities and towns, geodatabase maintenance, and data feeds for dispatch and the state 9-1-1 program
• Ran a road centerline QA/QC suite that checks gaps, continuity, geometry changes, short segments, invalid names and dangles
• Created the fishbone address check and presented it at AGIC 2020
• Managed Emergency Service Number boundaries
• Built the public COVID-19 dashboard with the county EOC

Began as an intern in my last semester of college. GIS mapping at Lake Georgetown in Williamson County, Texas, for the US Army Corps of Engineers as an AmeriCorps member.

• Mapped the lake’s trail system
• Catalogued Native American archaeological sites
• Made print maps for visitors
