I am passionate about data. I`ve worked with complex spatial data extensively, on projects ranging from threatened species habitat change to real estate assessment analyses. I`ve also contributed to OpenStreetMap, adding updates I observe on my travels, as well as writing scripts to aid in importing data such as New Jersey`s statewide land use data. My passion and enthusiasm has helped when I`ve trained others or led courses, as I try to make the concepts and theories behind spatial data and software development understandable to the lay person or those new to the field. I excel at providing direction to projects and people that is the right mix of efficiency and emotional intelligence. ©
