I am a seasoned archaeologist, geospatial analyst and developer, currently employed in the cultural resources industry. I've served as Senior Archaeologist and Geospatial Coordinator for the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center in Connecticut for almost a decade; investigating and protecting archaeological resources and constructing, implementing, and overseeing an enterprise level data system from scratch. I've worked on and consulted for a wide array of projects across the eastern United States, Cyprus, and the UK with various private sector firms, universities and agencies like FEMA, NOAA, and the National Park Service.
I have extensive experience across the ESRI ecosystem with ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro, Enterprise (Server/Portal), AGOL, and associated mobile applications (Collector/Survey123). I also work with QGIS, IDRISI, Map Server/Geo Server, GDAL/OGR, and raster analysis systems like ENVI and ERDAS. In addition to core GIS tasks, I have experience with spatial statistics, image classification, LIDAR/photogrammetry, and development/scripting with Python (and the usual Anaconda-type libraries), ArcPy, and ModelBuilder. I love data science (R, Python, Matlab, Tableau) and database development and managment (Postgres, MySQL, SQLServer, Neo4j, Access, Filemaker). Still trying to figure out Hadoop, but getting there... I can stitch together a halfway decent webapp with HTML/CSS/JS/Node/Bootstrap/React and a mapping interface with the ArcGIS JS API, Leaflet, or D3. I'm very excited about the various VR/AR kits coming online and their potential to be applied to cultural resource managment and other research programs!
Other interests include animals, food, gardening, kayaking, vernal pools, biostata, and cross country skiing.Of possible interest...
The underappreciated R to ArcGIS Bridge Say goodbye to your weekend!Hoping to develop this into a real website with some project profiles, tutorials, and a blog in the not-too-distant future...
