As a geographic information systems (GIS) technician, James works at the intersection of geovisualization, cartography, and programming. Drawing on these, he analyzes spatial data through mapping software. He designs maps for both print and online in support of permitting efforts and field data collection—focusing much of his work on the energy sector (both traditional and renewable).
James enjoys preparing, analyzing, and mapping vector, raster, and lidar data—and uses this information to prepare GIS illustrations that our engineers and planners use to inform their designs. He’s familiar with database planning and management, as well as best practices using extract, transform, and load (ETL) data integration software. He also works with remote sensing and unmanned aerial system (UAS) flight planning and photo and video collection.
