Patrick Terry Email & Phone Number

I excel in architecting end-to-end solutions that leverage geospatial data across the entire development stack. I create dynamic geospatial applications with seamless data integration, using ETL processes, Python APIs, React applications, and Oracle database management.Key highlights of my expertise include:1. Designing and implementing robust ETL.

Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary (GBAFAF), Arizona

• Highlighted Projects
• Collaborate with federal and state agencies on regionally important topics; currently part of automated (machine learning) wildlife image sorting and weather station working groups
• Built spatial interpolation models to predict monthly precipitation and temperature surfaces across federally protected lands from remotely sensed data
• First author of peer-reviewed publication modeling effects of weather, landscape, and interspecific factors on the use of water developments by bighorn sheep
• Peer-review manuscripts for the Journal of Wildlife ManagementRegular Duties
• Support Air Force training on the Barry M. Goldwater Range by monitoring endangered Sonoran pronghorn activity and performing bird aircraft strike hazard surveys

Ann Arbor, MI

• Supervise field crew, researcher, and volunteer efforts to inventory and manage amphibian and reptile populations within the City of Ann Arbor's natural areas
• Restore natural communities through mechanical and chemical invasive plant control, native seed dispersal and instillation, erosion control, and prescribed burning
• Maintain Microsoft Access and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) databases
• Initiate participation into the multi-organizational Michigan Vernal Pool Partnership; selected to act as organization's representative on the Education & Outreach subcommittee
• Modernize program's information systems and expand its data collection potential by establishing a spatially-based data-sharing agreement with the HerpMapper program
• Increase species inventory efforts by adding new habitat monitoring protocol; efforts quintupled the number of observations recorded in previous years

Ypslianti, MI

• Managed a master's thesis project aimed at elucidating the genetic structure of red-eared slider turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans) throughout Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana
• Created and managed budget and timeline; reported in a timely manner to departmental, graduate school, funder, and state permit deadlines
• Sought out and acquired all project funding through grant writing; received four awards totaling $8,500 through competitive, technical-writing processes
• Performed a multi-state trapping and data collection effort through travel and coordinating with out-of-state researchers
• Processed, prepared, manipulated, and analyzed data for using laboratory techniques and specialized statistical software
• Successfully wrote, submitted, and defended research thesis to board; publication to peer-reviewed journal in progress

Romulus, MI

• Supervised weekend crews of packaged-ice delivery drivers throughout southeast Michigan
• Perform deliveries and make sales with minimal supervision
• Reassessed and reprioritized daily goals when complications interrupted normal business
• Efficiently conducted business in absence of supervisors
• Operated and trained new employees in the safe operation of heavy vehicles
• Worked with customers to resolve conflicts and complaints in person and over the phone

Poplar Island, MD

• 400+ hours trapping, PIT tagging, and collecting demographic data on the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) as a part of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Poplar Island Environmental Restoration.
• Tracked turtles in tidal wetlands using sonic-telemetry equipment and small watercraft with on-board motor
