Excellent depth of analytical skills fine-tuned by almost three decades of listening to real-world problems and then translating them into solvable GIS problems. Published GIS author; B.S. Environmental Studies; Linux certified. Special interest connecting with data center clients, finding sites co-located with suitable terrain, fiber proximity, cooling water power and population density. Work in the green sector includes solar development (site selection and suitability), identifying buildable land and constraints; finding suitable locations on commercial building rooftops for solar using LiDAR; identifying customer locations and their proximity to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations (alternative fuels). Have worked on many projects needing lead generation. Use of GIS software and county appraiser parcel data identifies both the suitable properties as well as owner contact information.

Utilize open source software for geospatial analysis and modeling (QGIS and GRASS GIS). Published author in the GIS field, "How to Succeed as a GIS Rebel - A Journey to Open Source GIS; 2023, LocatePress". Topics in geospatial open source technology and the amazing journey over 25 years. Starting with ESRI and evolving to open source software, filled with stories and technical details that can help the beginner or provide guidance to management for enterprise GIS configurations.

I currently evaluate frontier AI model outputs for AI data companies. Before that, I spent years in roles where data accuracy mattered, from maintaining digital nautical charts used for marine navigation to serving as subject matter expert for geographic and demographic research datasets used in major business decisions. Here's what my background means for your project: -Accuracy. I read style guides closely, flag ambiguities early, and catch edge cases. I've spent my career reviewing data and product releases for accuracy before they reached the people relying on them, and I bring the same care to annotation and QA work. -Communication. I've supported major client accounts, run trainings, and written documentation that makes complicated data understandable. I respond quickly, ask questions when the brief is unclear, and keep you updated. Relevant experience. Annotation frameworks, QA workflows, and quality rubrics are what I work in daily, so there's no ramp-up time on your project. WHAT I DO: -AI Data & Annotation: AI model evaluation and response rating, AI data annotation and labeling across text, audio, and video, transcription and transcription QA for audio, video, and meeting notes, and app and software testing grounded in professional UAT experience -Data & Research: data entry, enrichment, and database management in Excel and Airtable, data analytics, market and competitor research, consumer segmentation and audience profiling, demographic and geographic reporting, and survey design and analysis -GIS & Geospatial: custom mapping and spatial analysis with ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, FME, and Mapbox, plus location data and demographic mapping for real estate, urban planning, and logistics. I hold a Geography degree and worked as a professional geospatial analyst. -Writing & Voice: proofreading and copyediting, technical documentation, how-to guides, training materials, and SOPs, plus voiceover recorded on a professional condenser mic -Travel Planning: I'm a liscensed travel advisor who creates personalized itineraries for any budget or style, end-to-end logistics covering flights, accommodations, ground transport, visas, and travel insurance, plus access to exclusive hotel, cruise, and airline rates and perks Whether it's a quick transcription review or a multi-week research engagement, I read the brief carefully, deliver clean work, and hit the deadline! If you have a project that needs careful, consistent execution, send me a message with the details.

As a cartographer, I aim to establish a firm that offers top-of-the-line services in map creation, web development, data engineering, and analysis. My goal is to develop products that enable clients to visualize their needs and make informed decisions. I am committed to honing my attention to detail and dedication to excellence in order to meet your needs for your products that you want developed.

Hi, my name is Pete Coventry and I'm a GIS Professional with over 22 years experience in the GIS/Geospatial fields in both public and private sectors. Of my 22 years experience, 10 years have been at a County Assessor's Office where I was a GIS Specialist. I focused on parcel level analysis pertaining to legal descriptions, ownership, property valuations and data mining. I'm fluent in ESRI ArcMap 10x, ArcGIS Pro 2x, ArcGIS Online, QGIS 3x, Umap and Mapbox mapping platforms and python scripting. When not at my desk, I'm a FAA Certified Drone Pilot flying a DJI Mavic 2 Pro to cover a variety of aerial done photography. I'm using Lightroom, Photoshop, Hugin, and DJI GO 4 software. I have a Master's Degree and a Graduate Certificate both in GIS. I'm actively involved in several geospatial professional groups, presented my work at several geospatial conferences and continue to learn in this ever growing field. I'm a firm believer in finding the best solution, whether it's Open Source or proprietary mapping software. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks, Pete

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.
