About me
Hey, I’m Kevin — the GIS Nerd.
I’m an IT and GIS professional passionate about transforming geographic data into actionable insights. Blending spatial intelligence with coding skills, I specialize in leveraging tools like ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, ArcPy, and Python, along with open-source platforms such as QGIS and GeoPandas, to solve real-world problems.
With a background in environmental science, substantial IT expertise, and extensive experience managing GIS projects for land development and engineering, I understand how to harness geospatial technology to deliver impactful results.
Welcome to my world of Spatial Intelligence, Powered by Code.
Spatial Problem Solver
Expert at analyzing and visualizing complex geospatial datasets using both ESRI and open source GIS tools to transform intricate spatial information into actionable insights.
Code-Driven GIS Expert
Skilled in using Python and ArcPy for ESRI workflows as well as open source GIS solutions to streamline processes and enhance decision-making for land development projects.
GIS & Environmental Insight
Leveraging a unique combination of environmental science knowledge and GIS capabilities to enhance land development decisions

Best Picks from My Portfolio
Pasco School Safety
The School Safety project is an interactive platform designed to analyze and visualize data related to school security and safety measures. It integrates GIS mapping and data analytics to provide actionable insights for improving school environments and informing policy decisions.
Earthquake Visualization
Earthquake Visualization is an interactive, real-time platform that integrates USGS earthquake data with dynamic mapping and chart visualizations. It leverages open-source tools such as Leaflet and Chart.js to display seismic activity trends in a visually engaging dark-themed interface with a time-frame selector.
Florida Seagrass Change
The Seagrass Change Project is an initiative that monitors and visualizes variations in seagrass coverage over time using remote sensing data and GIS analysis. It combines environmental datasets with interactive mapping tools to reveal trends and support coastal ecosystem management.
Decades in IT gave me the foundation to build smarter, faster, and more scalable GIS solutions.
While my passion today is GIS, that IT foundation still shapes how I approach every spatial project—whether I’m streamlining a GIS workflow or building a scalable platform for client maps.
Here are a few of the systems projects I led before shifting my focus back to GIS.
