About Me

I'm a Senior GIS Developer and Analyst at Olsson with a track record of turning manual spatial workflows into reliable production tools. I specialize in ArcGIS Pro SDK (.NET/C#/WPF), Python geoprocessing, SQL Server pipelines, and applied AI for engineering teams — with proven results like ~90% fewer manual GIS steps, multi-day workflows reduced to minutes, and AI-assisted contract sourcing in hours instead of months.

At Olsson I work directly with many telecom and infrastructure clients, delivering GIS tools, network design support, and spatial analysis. I build end-to-end automation across the fiber and wireless lifecycle — from engineering drafting and network layout to build-area planning, RF analysis, and multi-source spatial data acquisition — including density-based expansion tools used across multiple clients.

Several of my ArcGIS Pro add-ins and utilities are adopted beyond one-off projects and used firm-wide across teams. I also learned iBwave to deliver DAS (distributed antenna system) designs, expanding from GIS automation into wireless engineering deliverables.

A major thread of my work is applied AI for real bottlenecks — intelligent contract search and classification (months to hours), and computer-vision inventory of utility infrastructure from aerial and street-level imagery. I was a 2025 Edison Award Nominee and 2026 Edison Award Winner at Olsson for demonstrating superior technical ability.

I hold a Master's in Geography (GIS&T) from the University of Nebraska at Omaha (4.0 GPA, December 2025). My thesis on spatiotemporal NOx emissions from U.S. cement plants using TROPOMI data earned the GRACA Project Award. I taught Human-Environment Geography labs to 150+ students as instructor of record and contributed GIS work to the Omaha Spatial Justice Project.

I'm passionate about bridging geospatial science, software engineering, and applied AI to solve complex spatial problems with practical impact — and always open to connecting with others who share that focus.

Currently Working On

Workflow Automation

Building Python and C# tools that eliminate repetitive GIS tasks — turning multi-day manual processes into fully automated pipelines.

AI-Powered Spatial Solutions

Developing AI agents using Azure AI Foundry and Google AI Studio for intelligent data classification, RFP sourcing, and web grounding at scale.

Fiber Network Design Tools

Building ArcGIS Pro tools for FTTH layout, density-based build-area planning used across multiple clients, RF analysis, and fiber expansion workflows.

Selected Projects

See all projects
RFP Radar— Applied AI for RFP Sourcing (Azure)

Azure OpenAI · Azure AI Foundry · Python/C# · Playwright

Applies Azure OpenAI to search, classify, and match RFPs to company capabilities. Months of sourcing → hours.

Bore Profile Automation— Directional Drilling Profile Generator

Python · C# · ArcGIS Pro · SQL Server · Matplotlib

Reads spatial waypoints and elevation models; generates 2D/3D bore profiles. Days → minutes.

Fiber Automatic Expansion— Density Grouping & Fiber Build-Area Planning

C# · .NET · ArcGIS Pro SDK · WPF · Spatial Analysis

Grids the study area for density analysis and flood-fills viable build zones by PPM thresholds. Used across multiple clients; days/weeks → minutes.

FTTH Network Designer— Automated Fiber Optic Network Planning

C# · .NET 8 · ArcGIS Pro SDK · WPF · Kruskal MST

Places shafts, connects homes, and builds an optimal Main Trunk / Terminal Branch backbone. Days → minutes.

GIS Data Downloader— Multi-Source GIS Data Acquisition

C# · .NET 8 · ArcGIS Pro SDK · WPF · REST APIs

Downloads OSM, USGS, FEMA, Census/TIGER, and BSL layers into ArcGIS Pro. Adopted firm-wide across projects and teams.

Street View in ArcGIS Pro— In-App Pole & Asset Verification

C# · .NET 8 · ArcGIS Pro SDK · WPF · Google Street View API

One-click Google Street View API panoramas inside ArcGIS Pro so analysts can verify poles and equipment without leaving the map.

Parcel Owner Classifier— Applied AI for Fiber Expansion (Azure)

Python · Azure OpenAI · Azure AI Foundry · SQL Server

Applies Azure OpenAI to classify parcel owners as development/investment firms — finding where growth is happening for fiber expansion.

RF Network Planning— 8-Tool Wireless Planning Panel

C# · ArcGIS Pro SDK · Python

Coverage prediction, PCI/RSI planner, tilt/azimuth optimizers, interference analysis, and tower placement — all as map layers.

Aerial AI Object Detection— YOLO Utility Infrastructure Detection

Python · YOLO · OpenCV · Aerial/Street Imagery APIs

Detects and classifies utility assets from aerial and street-level imagery; exports georeferenced results to ArcGIS.

Work Experience

GIS Developer and Analyst2025 Nominee & 2026 Edison Award Winner

Lincoln, Nebraska

  • Worked directly with many telecom and infrastructure clients, delivering GIS tools, network design support, and spatial analysis that improved speed and consistency of delivery.
  • Built production Python and C# GIS apps, including automated bore profile generation that cut processing from days to minutes.
  • Created an ArcGIS Automation Suite of Python geoprocessing toolboxes — pocketing, conduit drawing, centerlines, cable consolidation, cost/routing — reducing manual GIS steps by ~90%.
  • Shipped ArcGIS Pro add-ins (.NET/C#/WPF) adopted across projects and teams: GIS Data Downloader used firm-wide, FTTH Network Designer, Fiber Automatic Expansion (density grouping used across multiple clients), RF Analysis panel, and a Street View tool for in-map pole and asset verification.
  • Learned iBwave to deliver DAS (distributed antenna system) designs, expanding into wireless engineering deliverables alongside GIS automation.
  • Built AI tools with Azure OpenAI and Google AI Studio — including contract sourcing (months to hours) and a parcel-owner classifier that flags development/investment firms for fiber expansion analysis; plus YOLO apps for remote utility inventory.
  • Created GeoPipe: a GUI ETL app for large spatial/tabular imports into SQL Server with schema auto-detection, spatial types, and connection-loss recovery.
