With +25 years of experience in GIS, I help my clients unlock the power of GIS. My mission is to provide tailored GIS products and services designed specifically for you!
I help clients build location-based systems that are both technically solid and visually intuitive.
Now semi-retired, I take on select freelance projects where I can add real value or simply help someone out. As a native English speaker with 25+ years in GIS, I bring both clear communication and deep technical expertise. I work independently, ask the right questions early, and deliver work that’s QA’d, functional, and built to spec — because after 25 years in GIS, I know what actually works in the field.
✅ 25+ Years of Experience – Trusted GIS expertise across dozens of projects
✅ Vendor-neutral – ESRI Ecosystem or Open Source to best support your needs
✅ Quality You Can Trust – GIS workflows—done right the first time
✅ Exclusive Knowledge & Tools – Instant access to my extensive library of templates, styles, scripts, work instructions and more
✅ Business Continuity – Clear metadata, documentation and data stewardship
I'm proud to say that I'm platform agnostic, equally adept with open-source tools as well as industry leaders like ArcGIS from ESRI. This flexibility ensures the GIS solutions I provide fit both the needs and the budget of my clients.
My passion for breaking down barriers to geospatial data access and utilization is reflected in how I work with clients and the products I deliver. I'm here to empower you and your entire team, regardless of your level of expertise.
Whether you need a single map or a comprehensive GIS strategy, my expertise is your competitive advantage. I take pride in delivering user-friendly, customized solutions that provide tangible support to your business.

Senior Python GIS Developer with 10+ years of experience building WebGIS platforms, GeoDjango/PostGIS spatial APIs, map dashboards, GIS automation tools, and browser-based GIS applications.
I help businesses turn complex spatial data into reliable systems that are easier to manage, analyze, visualize, automate, and share with both technical and non-technical users.
I don’t just build maps or write GIS scripts. I focus on solving real business problems with geospatial technology — reducing manual GIS work, improving spatial data quality, speeding up spatial analysis, and turning scattered GIS files into structured tools, dashboards, APIs, and decision-ready applications.
🚀 Track record:
• 10+ years in GIS development and spatial software engineering
• $60K+ earned on Upwork
• 37 completed jobs
• 1,700+ Upwork hours
• Experience across WebGIS, cadastral systems, land records, mining, real estate, routing, dashboards, and GIS automation
✅ Selected outcomes:
• Built a mining cadastral WebGIS portal used for concession management and spatial record workflows.
• Developed WebGIS dashboards that helped teams visualize land, parcel, and mining data in one system.
• Automated GIS processing workflows that reduced manual spatial data preparation and reporting effort.
• Built Mapryx, a browser-native GIS platform supporting 7+ spatial data formats, offline workflows, local/private processing, spatial SQL, and AI-assisted GIS analysis.
🗺️ What I can help you build:
• WebGIS platforms and interactive mapping applications
• Spatial REST APIs using GeoDjango, Django REST Framework, and PostGIS
• Map dashboards for monitoring, reporting, and decision-making
• PostGIS database design, spatial queries, and performance optimization
• QGIS plugins, ArcGIS Pro add-ins, ArcPy scripts, and PyQGIS automation
• Spatial data cleaning, conversion, validation, and processing pipelines
• Leaflet, Mapbox, MapLibre, OpenLayers, and ArcGIS JavaScript map interfaces
• Browser-based GIS tools using DuckDB-WASM, deck.gl, WebAssembly, and modern web mapping libraries
• Deployment on Linux, Docker, Nginx, Gunicorn, Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare
🌐 Industries and workflows I understand:
• Land, parcel, cadastral, zoning, and property systems
• Mining cadastral portals and concession management
• Real estate and land visualization tools
• Routing, distance analysis, and location-based reporting
• Field data collection, inspection dashboards, and operational GIS
• Spatial data automation and large geodata processing
• Browser-native and offline GIS workflows
Most of my projects involve taking GIS work that is manual, scattered, slow, or difficult to use and turning it into a structured system with clean data, reliable APIs, interactive maps, automation, and practical tools for daily operations.
I also use modern AI-assisted development tools such as Codex, Claude Code, and AI agents to speed up development, improve code review, support documentation, and reduce repetitive work. The final solution is always reviewed, tested, and built around your project requirements.
My core stack includes Python, Django, GeoDjango, Django REST Framework, PostGIS, PostgreSQL, GeoServer, GDAL, ArcPy, PyQGIS, QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, Leaflet, Mapbox, MapLibre, OpenLayers, DuckDB-WASM, deck.gl, WebAssembly, Docker, Linux, Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare.
My usual process is simple: understand your GIS problem, review your data and workflow, design the right architecture, build the solution step by step, test it with real use cases, and deliver a system your team can use confidently.
If you need a GIS developer who can understand the spatial problem, design the database, build the backend, create the map interface, automate workflows, and deploy the final system, I can help.
