With over 15 years of experience, and a licensed Professional Engineer, I've honed my expertise at the intersection of GIS, hydraulic engineering, and utility management. My work at the Lansing Board of Water and Light has focused on digital transformation, leveraging Esri technologies to streamline and automate critical workflows. From deploying ArcGIS Workforce and Field Maps for water distribution to automating maintenance with Esri Notebooks and Python, I’ve led projects that have slashed task times and improved efficiency by up to 95%.I’m passionate about advancing asset management and operational efficiency through innovative GIS applications. My recent projects include building 3D models of water production plants with lidar and Scene Viewer, creating a well field management tool, and developing a capital planning solution using Esri Experience Builder, Survey123, and Python. In addition to my technical skills, I assist in managing Water Operations’ Capital and O&M budgets, ensuring we meet financial targets while enhancing operational visibility through PowerBI dashboards.Beyond GIS and water operations, my entrepreneurial background as the former CEO of ARUtility provided me with a unique perspective on business and technology integration. At ARUtility, I built mobile and web applications that reached global markets, partnered with industry leaders like Esri and Eos Positioning Systems, and secured a licensing agreement for an augmented reality-based asset management solution. During this time, I also managed project roadmaps, oversaw finances, and led a talented team through a major startup accelerator program in Silicon Valley.My experience spans from ground-level infrastructure projects to strategic management roles. At the Michigan Public Service Commission, I conducted safety audits for natural gas systems across the state, ensuring compliance with rigorous standards. As a Staff Engineer at ENG., Inc., I designed and inspected infrastructure projects, ensuring they adhered to specifications, permits, and resident needs.I am continuously advancing my technical skills across multiple programming languages, with proficiency in Python, C#, JavaScript, and SQL, among others. My certifications include an S-1 Water Distribution System Operator license, and I’m an inventor on a patent that integrates AR/VR systems for GIS visualization. A commitment to problem-solving and continuous improvement has driven me to transform operations and pioneer solutions that blend cutting-edge technology with practical, real-world applications.
