Hire the Best ArcGIS Consultants in California

I have over 10 years of experience in the energy industry leading geologic interpretation, well development, and earth modeling projects while also working together with regulatory agencies, IM&T, and consulting firms to generate world-class results. My drive for continuous improvement propels me, and all who I associate with, to a greater level of professional performance and success.

I'm a GIS analyst and cartographer with 8+ years of experience translating complex environmental, social, and operational data into maps and dashboards that actually get used. I've built interactive Tableau and ArcGIS Online tools for nonprofit disaster response, developed climate visualizations for international NGOs, and mentored students at Columbia University's School of Professional Studies and Climate School. My work has been featured at the Data Visualization Society's Outlier Conference. I work best with organizations where the data matters - environmental nonprofits, sustainability initiatives, climate advocacy groups, public agencies, and mission-driven teams. Whether you need a polished static map for a report, an interactive web map for stakeholders, or a Tableau dashboard that tells a story, I bring both the technical depth and the communication skills to get you there. My approach is equity-focused, collaborative, and delivery-oriented. I'll ask the right questions upfront so the final product fits your audience, not just your dataset.
