GIS-rooted / full-stack engineer
I build mapping products and web applications — from spatial-data pipelines to the interfaces people use to explore them. Currently a Software Engineer at PingThings, building real-time visualization platforms for time-series sensor and geospatial data.
01 — About
From GIS analyst to lead engineer, building the tools researchers and teams use to see their data on a map.
I started my career as a Geographic Information Systems Analyst, then began tinkering with code — first simple Python scripts, then full-stack web applications. That spatial background still shapes how I work: I specialize in building mapping applications for the web, though my scope has grown well beyond that.
Today I work as a Software Engineer at PingThings, building real-time visualization platforms for time-series sensor and geospatial data — owning architecture, design, and delivery end to end.
02 — Experience
2023 — Present
Architected and delivered a production real-time visualization platform for time-series sensor and geospatial data, building information-dense interfaces that render millions of data points with sub-second performance.
2018 — 2023
Led a five-engineer team building enterprise geospatial applications supporting scientific research operations across 50+ facilities, improving visualization performance by 40% through rendering optimization and tile-based architectures.
2018 — 2022
Spearheaded development of a SaaS product for land development asset mapping, as both partner and lead developer.
2017 — 2018
Directed the GIS department for an engineering and land development firm, managing teams and projects. Built an internal web mapping application for land development and site due diligence.
2012 — 2017
Helped grow a Land Development and Civil Engineering startup from 2 to 20 people over five years, through its acquisition by Manhard Consulting. Owned all GIS projects for urban planning, land development, ROW acquisition, and site discovery.
03 — Projects
A dashboard built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS, built to gain hands-on experience with the framework. Planned: dynamic data via an editable Prisma database.
View project ↗A simplified draw tool for the Mapbox API. Users can create, edit, and delete GeoJSON polygons and lines directly on the map.
View project ↗A playground for D3, used to highlight techniques for visualizing both spatial and non-spatial data.
