As a GIS Administrator I’m involved in every aspect of developing, managing and maintaining Mesa County’s GIS department. I perform management and administrative duties for projects including developing new software applications and flying aerial imagery collections. Some of these duties include:• Scheduling • Creating cost estimates and budgets• Creating Requests For Proposals• Coordination and review of work.I provide 2D and 3D mapping products and data analyses for county departments including Planning, Engineering, Road and Bridge, Assessor, Sheriff, Search and Rescue, Emergency Management, and others as well as the general public. Software tools used for this include:• ESRI ArcMap / ArcScene / ArcGIS Pro / ArcGIS Portal / ArcGIS Online• QGIS• AutoDesk Map3D• Google Earth ProI maintain the GIS department’s social media channels including Twitter, Youtube, Google + and our blog.Along with building powerful tools, I create documentation and training tutorials using tools like Youtube videos, presentations, documents and slideshows.Much of my time is spent creating desktop and mobile web apps – primarily in JavaScript (Node, React, Express, Dojo, jQuery...) . I also build custom desktop applications and tools using Python, VB and C#.Previously, I refactored the County Assessor’s ASPX (VB.NET) based Sales Lookup tool to have a more modern UI utilizing jQuery, Datatables.js and the Google Maps API for JavaScript.I implemented and led the replacement of a Silverlight powered data viewer app to a fully JavaScript (Dojo) and HTML5 powered app.I developed a Python (Django) powered geography quiz. It was built with a PostgreSQL database that allows a randomized selection of questions to be displayed on each refresh.

As a senior geospatial analyst I was responsible for managing the Air Force geographic information system (GIS) at Nellis AFB. This included writing Python applications, scripts and geoprocessing tools for database backup, map document maintenance, data conversion, ArcSDE / Oracle 11g user management and emergency management situational awareness. My duties included creating maps, map books, 3D geospatial animations and flythroughs, and GIS datasets for base utility providers, civil engineers, fire protection units and aircraft crash analyses.I developed ArcSDE version management workflows, converted data between CAD and GIS formats and designed distributable ESRI geodatabases. I also managed GIS projects including utility data creation and updates (water, wastewater and electrical) and GPS survey projects. In addition to the above, I developed departmental web pages, wrote technical documents such as how-to manuals and metadata and trained personnel in use of GIS/CAD software and GPS equipment.
