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 provide engineering-grade terrain models, point cloud processing, reality capture deliverables, quantity analysis, and spatial data services for site feasibility, land development, construction planning, and existing conditions documentation.
My work supports civil engineers, surveyors, architects, developers, insurers, and property owners who need reliable surfaces, measurements, and actionable deliverables without overcomplicating the process.
Typical deliverables include:
DTM/DSM surfaces and contours
Cut/fill and volumetric analysis
Point cloud processing and classification
Drone photogrammetry and LiDAR deliverables
LandXML, DWG, GIS, and CAD-ready datasets
Site feasibility exhibits and development support
Existing conditions documentation and as-built modeling
Orthomosaics, terrain models, and inspection deliverables
I regularly work with AutoCAD Civil 3D, LiDAR, photogrammetry, GIS/QGIS, Virtual Surveyor workflows, and reality capture datasets, producing information that integrates cleanly into downstream engineering, planning, BIM, and decision-making workflows.
In addition to office-based analysis, I also perform drone and on-site inspection work, including property documentation, insurance inspections, condition assessments, and field verification.
With over 15 years of experience supporting surveying and engineering projects, I bring practical field knowledge together with modern geospatial and reality capture workflows. My background includes land surveying, topographic analysis, septic design support, site feasibility evaluations, volumetric studies, drainage assessments, and development planning support.
Whether you need terrain intelligence for planning, point cloud deliverables, existing conditions documentation, or reliable survey-based analysis, I focus on producing practical, defensible results quickly and professionally.

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.
