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.
Graduate Teaching Assistant – Instructor of Record
Omaha, Nebraska
- Taught lab sections of Human-Environment Geography to over 150 students across three semesters as sole instructor of record.
GIS Technician – Omaha Spatial Justice Project
Omaha, Nebraska
- Digitized historical land parcels from archival documents and aerial photography; reviewed legal records to build an accurate geodatabase of racially restrictive covenants in Douglas County, supporting urban spatial justice research.
