Static maps provide a visual representation of geographic data without the need for interactive tools or internet connectivity. These maps can be embedded within journal articles, travel brochures, textbooks, and more. I create static maps using ESRI's ArcGIS Pro software and ensure that important information and the intended message is communicated effectively.

Today's digital age enables geographic data to be dynamically explored through interactive maps. Functionality includes zooming & panning to locations of interests, enabling pop-ups to communicate more information, and establishing easy access to resources associated with the map. I employ several different methods to create interactive maps that depend on user needs and software availability & restrictions.

Spatial analysis uncovers patterns, relationships, and insights within geographical data which helps us make informed decisions and solve complex problems. Utilizing ESRI's ArcGIS Pro and/or open-source software, I can perform several types of spatial analysis including Suitability Analysis, Geostatistical Analysis, Network Analysis, and more.

Automation increases the efficiency, accuracy, and lowers long-term cost of a workflow. Organizations can save money, reduce human errors, and focus more efforts on strategic planning by eliminating repetitive manual tasks. I have lots of experience automating workflows for both tabular and spatial applications using both Python and R.

Databases store and organize data to facilitate efficient data retrieval, updates, and maintenance. By combining relational databases' ability to manage relationships between data and spatial databases' capability to handle geospatial information, organizations can effectively model real-world scenarios, support location-based queries, and make informed decisions based on spatial insights. I have experience setting up and maintaining both relational and spatial databases for various applications.
