In this position I was responsible for the management, development, and support of Verizon Wireless's web-based Geographic Information System. I designed and built the system from the ground up, with no existing application in place prior. This system is utilized internally to map, model and solve complex spatial analysis issues as they relate to the Verizon Wireless network landscape including EOC operations. I also managed the directional Spatial Data Process which supports the flow of coverage information and other spatial data from Verizon's network RF Engineers to collateral available in a Verizon Wireless retail store. Lastly, I was responsible for the management and scheduling of ad-hoc cartographic requests and complex spatial analysis that support all aspects of the Verizon enterprise.I was successful at Verizon because I was an early adopter of SOA theory and believed strongly in building a common operational picture for the company.
