GIS & Maps
Maps should explain, not just display.
About GISNerd
Spatial Intelligence. Powered by Code.
GISNerd is my personal publishing home for GIS, public data, visualization, workflow systems, and practical AI.
Behind GISNerd
I'm Kevin Mazur, a GIS Administrator / Lead working in local government property data. I have spent more than 25 years working across IT, GIS, land development, real estate, property data, and workflow systems.
Most of my career has lived at the intersection of maps, databases, public information, web tools, and the people who rely on those systems to make decisions.
GISNerd is where I write about that intersection: practical ideas, experiments, lessons, and tools that make spatial information easier to understand and use.

What I write about
Practical notes from the edge of maps, data, and systems.
Public Data
Public information is more valuable when it is clear, visual, and accessible.
Property & Parcels
Parcel data connects land, ownership, valuation, development, and public decision-making.
Data Visualization
Good visuals help people see patterns, context, and change faster.
Systems & Workflows
Useful tools reduce friction and support the way people actually work.
Practical AI
AI is most useful when it amplifies judgment, planning, research, and execution.
How I think about the work
Maps should explain, not just display.
Public data should be easier to understand.
Internal tools should reduce friction.
AI should amplify judgment, not replace it.
Systems matter because workflows matter.
