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 pipelines to ensure efficient geospatial data processing and integration into mulitple environments.2. Developing React applications and Python APIs to deliver geospatial interfaces and data streams across agency applications3. Leveraging Oracle database procedures and views to enable advanced geospatial analysis and querying functionalities.4. Managing server infrastructure and closely collaborating with Technical Support Units (TSUs) to ensure seamless server operations and address any system needs.

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• Utilize geographic information systems (ESRI ArcGIS) and R statistical programming workflows to analyze regionally important, complex ecological issues• Communicate findings through scientific reporting, including peer-reviewed publications, interagency technical reports, and in-person presentations• Maintain, manipulate, and query flat and relational databases (Excel, Access, Geodatabases)

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• Tripled volunteer program participation by establishing an internship program and increasing outreach to local university classes and day camps• Submit vernal pool protection amendment to City’s wetland ordinance; amendment has cleared first committee and is moving forward• Revise habitat management and park maintenance plans to include best management practices for reptile and amphibian populations• Plan and execute large-scale habitat improvement projects, such as the installation of turtle basking sites

Ypslianti, Mi
