I work on the JALBTCX program where I calibrate sensors and process data in addition to providing field support and developing workflow solutions.

Ruston, Louisiana

We are an independent contracting company providing maps and geospatial services on an as-requested basis.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States

I was an embedded contractor for Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development (DOTD). I was most engaged with the following:• ArcGIS Web App development using ArcGIS API for JavaScript.• ArcGIS Enterprise management and publication of Image Services, WMS, and Web Layers.• Python scripting for custom imagery geoprocessing.• Historical panchromatic imagery scanning and mosaicking.• Topographic Lidar QA/QC • Python scripting for elevation product creation.• Linear Reference System (LRS) scripting and modeling.• Networking with local and federal authorities to consolidate and publish Louisiana's GIS data.• Authoring SOP documents and videos.• Public presentations.

Monmouth, Il

I helped facilitate the geospatial aspect of this crop dusting company's business model which focused on providing farmers with actionable information regarding their nitrogen fertilization requirements for corn and soybean crops. The goal was to reduce runoff and the financial expense of fertilization by only spraying aerial application where it was needed, on less healthy crops. A large-format pushbroom sensor was used to acquire data during critical growth periods. The imagery was classified using vegetation indices and vectorized to create online datasets. Farmers were able to view the data and quickly take action during these critical growth periods. I was mostly engaged with the following:• Large-format multispectral sensor installation and operation (Leica ADS80).• Mission planning.• Imagery aerial triangulation and photogrammetry.• Image product creation.• Image classification using spectral reflectance and vegetation indices.• Data delivery for crop dusting aerial applicators.• Image service creation.• Web app development.

Ruston, La

After graduate school, I came back to my hometown and worked as a geospatial analyst where I gained experience in the following:• Point cloud QA/QC - focused specifically towards adherence to the USGS Lidar Base Spec.• Creating custom GUI-based executable software for lidar processing, QC, and product creation.• Operation of medium-format multispectral and airborne topographic lidar sensors.• GNSS base station setup and data collection.• Point cloud processing and editing.• Breakline editing with hydro-flattening and DEM creation.• FGDC metadata creation.• AT, photogrammetry, seamline editing, and radiometric processing of multispectral imagery.

Mississippi State, Ms

I was a teaching assistant at the College of Forest Resources where my duties included the following:• Teaching lab for "Spatial Technologies in Natural Resources" along with occasional lectures.• Field assistance for "Dendrology" and driving multiple cargo vehicles.• Grading papers and quizzes.• Chaperoning students.• Research assistance with field-based GNSS and biological data collection.• Research assistance with field-based and lab-based spectroscopy.

Arcadia, La

• I centralized geospatial activities for the parish, oversaw purchases and expansions, and managed all GIS employees.• I created new PLSS data including 25k+ tax parcels and oversaw the overhaul of roadways, rights-of-way, E911, etc.• I stood up a server and created web apps and services so that locally hosted real-time data was publicly available.

Felsental. Arkansas

• I was responsible for making mallard duck calls and painting small murals on each one. • The process entailed cutting and squaring wood, boring it, lathing it, coating it, painting duck scenes or custom art on each, coating it again, assembling and inserting the reed, and attaching a lanyard.
