Permit workflow automation
Automated repetitive GIS permit processing with Python and ArcPy, reducing turnaround while improving consistency.
GIS DEVELOPER • SYSTEMS AUTOMATION
From spatial data
to working systems.
I build GIS automation and spatial-data workflows that turn complex, repetitive processes into reliable systems.
SELECTED IMPACT
~1 week → ~1 hourGIS permit workflow
4,460asset IDs automated
50+infrastructure maps
SELECTED GIS WORK
The map is still the foundation.
Real work, not decorative placeholders. These pieces show the spatial thinking and cartographic foundation behind the automation work.
Netherlands General Map
A signature cartographic piece demonstrating visual hierarchy, geographic communication and map design.
WORKFLOW → SYSTEM
GIS is where I work.
Automation is how I scale it.
The strongest part of my work is recognizing where repeated technical decisions can become rules, scripts and dependable workflows.
Business rules encoded
Turned manual workflow decisions into FME transformations, validation and repeatable spatial ETL logic.
Asset IDs generated
Built a Python tool to generate municipal asset identifiers instead of creating them manually.
ENGINEERING / CAD→FME / ETL→GIS→QA / QC→RELIABLE OUTPUT
ENGINEERING DATA LITERACY
CAD isn't a detour.
It connects to the GIS.
My drafting background helps me understand technical source drawings before they become spatial data. Today that carries into CAD-to-GIS processing, FME transformations and QA/QC.
CAREER DEPTH
Infrastructure GIS,
built over years.
Telecommunications, pipelines, municipal assets and engineering data—progressively moving from GIS production toward automation and systems.

DEVELOPMENT EVIDENCE
Technical range,
without losing the GIS story.
Software projects are supporting evidence: I can build beyond desktop GIS when the problem calls for it.
ABOUT
Strategic enough to design the system.
Technical enough to build it.
I'm a GIS professional focused on systems automation: understanding the workflow, finding the repetitive work, and building a more dependable way to get it done.
My background spans GIS, engineering data, Python automation, spatial ETL and software development. The common thread is practical problem-solving—using technology to make technical work clearer, faster and more repeatable.
