ArcGIS Enterprise Database Architecture/Management
I have 7 years experience working in the Esri Environment, and have been fortunate to be trained by some highly skilled professionals. The industry is always improving and I'm working to keep up with best-practices, but I'm confident I can lead us in the right direction for your needs.
Cartographic Design and Scientific Communication
Conveying complex information graphically is an art and science. I try to grow awareness of the principles of graphic literacy, or 'graphicacy', in the places I work.
Reports, images, and charts are included in this category alongside maps and other visual products.
Multi-disciplinary Experience
The range of industries that have informed my experiences include agriculture, alc-bev, software development, civil engineering, construction, manufacturing, graphic design, and communication. The deep pool of experiences I have provides valuable perspective that I draw on to make sound judgement.
