Enterprise GIS /
Geospatial Data Engineer (GISP)

Approach

• •Designed and governed an enterprise geodata model covering 12+ thematic domains / 250+ layers for cross-project reuse.
• •Built metadata, catalog, and lineage rules to tie datasets to sources, ownership, and project lifecycle.
• •Defined QA/QC standards and repeatable validation procedures (schema/topology/completeness) to reduce contractor rework.
• •Developed enterprise cartography standards, incl. ~2,000+ topographic styles, and supervised styling quality.
• •Coordinated 4 integrations with adjacent corporate systems; produced 20+ governance and operating documents.

Impact

• ✓Scaled centralized GIS operations across 300+ facility projects with controlled historical data reuse.
• ✓Reduced pre-project spatial data package preparation time by ~30% through standard formats and repeatable QA/QC.
• ✓Supported rollout to hundreds of registered users and training waves of ~200 specialists.

Technology Stack

Approach

• •Designed governed enterprise geodata models and data dictionaries (200+ layers) with CRS, topology, and attribute domain rules.
• •Built and executed high-volume ETL (including intensive CAD↔GIS conversions) and reproducible load patterns into PostGIS.
• •Established spatial QA/QC gates (schema/topology/completeness) to stabilize deliveries and reduce rework.
• •Implemented a distributed architecture: a dedicated GIS server in each subsidiary with controlled replication into a central corporate spatial data hub.
• •Enabled publishing workflows via open-source web GIS stack (GeoServer/OGC services) and supported production operations (tickets/incidents).
• •Drove rollout across 3 subsidiaries, onboarding teams, performing initial loads, and enabling user adoption.

Impact

• ✓Scaled adoption 0 → 3,000+ users in ~3 years — making it the #1 IT platform in the organization by active user count.
• ✓The platform became the single source of truth for enterprise spatial information and cartographic basemaps, feeding downstream systems via standard services and governed datasets.
• ✓Supported enterprise integrations (10 systems) by owning geodata formats, schemas, testing, and acceptance.
• ✓After a successful rollout in upstream operations, launched and led a prototype for engineering/design—validated in production and approved for a full-scale program across those departments

Technology Stack

Approach

• •Delivered 7 full-cycle ISOGD deployments for municipal/regional customers and supported 15+ solution prototypes.
• •Built repeatable data intake + ETL pipelines: CAD→GIS conversion, reprojection, georeferencing, attribute normalization, address parsing, and pre-load validation.
• •Designed and maintained domain data models and classifiers for planning datasets (plans, zoning, constraints/encumbrances, protected areas, base layers) to ensure consistent schemas across installations.
• •Loaded and curated hundreds of GB of spatial data across dozens of customer DB environments, ensuring integrity and schema compliance.
• •Produced production-ready map projects and cartographic outputs (thematic + topographic), covering digital and print deliverables used by planners and external stakeholders.
• •Acted as the delivery bridge between users and engineering: requirements discovery, system/data diagnostics, and translating planning workflows into implementable GIS specifications.
• •Implemented targeted QGIS automation (plugins/scripts) to streamline repetitive editing and QA steps

Impact

• ✓Delivered systems required by federal regulation, aligning data structure and publication workflows to statutory rules.
• ✓Enabled municipalities to operationalize a compliance-driven, authoritative planning GIS (“single source of truth”) aligned with the statutory ISOGD concept and federal rules on information provision.
• ✓Reduced rollout risk from data variability by standardizing the delivery playbook (intake → validation → load → map products → publication).
