    I am a GIS consultant specializing in developing custom scripts, tools, and applications to streamline your geospatial workflows. Other skills include digital cartography, spatial analysis, and building custom webmapping tools. I have experience with many GIS programs including ArcGIS, QGIS, Microstation, GlobalMapper. I can develop either stand alone GIS applications, or custom tools for existing GIS software as needed. I have a BSc. in geomatics from the University of Victoria, as well as an Advanced Diploma in GIS from Vancouver Island Univeristy. Noteworthy projects include: developing a stand alone GIS application using Qt and QGIS for the Heart and Stroke Foundation to organize their yearly Heart Month canvas campaign; creating an ArcObjects AddIn for the Grassland Conservation Council of BC to bring their spatial data up to date; and working with the City of Nanaimo to produce a new cycling map of the city. If you are looking for ways to make your GIS workflows more efficient, or are interested in adding GIS capabilities to your workplace without hiring a full time analyst, please contact me to see how I can help.

    I create interactive web maps (or static maps depending on your use case) and conduct spatial data research and analysis. For example, I create maps that display data as a choropleth (colored polygons), point, line, flow, and/or heatmap. User interaction can include zooming in/out, clicking on features to display a popup with more information, and filtering data by some category. I am a graduate of the New Maps Plus program at the University of Kentucky (Master's program), where I have honed my skills in spatial data visualization and web development. I am familiar and capable of working on projects in JavaScript, Node.js, Python, and Microsoft Excel, for example. For my undergrad, I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. Additionally, I have experience in air dispersion modeling, including running AERMOD and mapping results.

    I have ten years experience in geospatial data analysis and reporting, and three years in web applications development. In every office I worked, the data processing tools I developed significantly cut time spent on gathering and preparing data, while simultaneously improving the communication of that data among networked systems. Later on, I started focusing more on the web applications side of software development, especially with open-source technologies. Now I share my skills with the rest of the world as a freelance web developer. I am particularly skilled with presenting geospatial data on various maps like Google and Leaflet. I am also quite adept with regular expressions (pattern matching) for finding and extracting information from a wide variety of source formats. My curiosity and problem-solving skills make me great at coming up with cleverly simple answers to complex problems. Bring me your challenges; I'll provide you solutions!

How to Hire Top GIS Developers

How to hire GIS developers

Geographic information system (GIS) technology has revolutionized the way we use geography to inform decisions. If you’re looking for a developer who can help your business better leverage geographic data, a GIS developer can help.

So how do you hire GIS developers? What follows are some tips for finding top GIS developers on Upwork.

How to shortlist GIS development professionals

As you’re browsing available GIS development consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the freelancers you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a GIS developer who understands your industry so they can develop a software solution custom-tailored to your needs.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., IT systems administration of an ASP.NET-powered back end).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular GIS developer.

How to write an effective GIS development job post

With a clear picture of your ideal GIS developer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a freelancer to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective GIS development job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From API integrations to unit tests, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, mapping tools, or GIS frameworks, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

GIS DEVELOPERS FAQ

What is GIS development?

GIS is a framework for the capture, storage, and use of spatial or geographic data in software applications. GIS has many uses, including urban planning, environmental impact analysis, and agricultural applications.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in GIS development professionals:

  • GIS frameworks such as ArcGIS, Esri, and Portal
  • Programming languages such as C++, C#, JavaScript, and Python
  • Software development
  • Digital mapping (e.g., geospatial, cartography)
  • Industry-specific expertise (e.g., agriculture, real estate, environmental)

Why hire GIS developers?

The trick to finding top GIS developers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to leverage existing geographic data to find the optimal location to open a new branch of your retail business? Or are you performing an environmental survey of local wetlands? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a GIS developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced GIS developer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A freelancer who is still in the process of building a client base may price their GIS development services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
