GIS AUTOMATION & SPATIAL ANALYSIS CONSULTANT
I help organizations turn repetitive GIS processes, difficult datasets, and complex spatial questions into reliable workflows, reusable tools, and decision-ready deliverables.
SERVICES
I start with the business problem: users, inputs, outputs, frequency, data volume, business rules, failure conditions, and success criteria. The goal is not automation for its own sake—it is faster, repeatable, maintainable work with clear QA/QC.
FLAGSHIP SERVICE
Turn a recurring manual process into a documented workflow: Input → automated processing → QA/QC → standardized output.
Simple: $500–750 · Intermediate: $750–1,500 · Complex: $1,500–3,000+
DATA RELIABILITY
Repair, validate, standardize, and document GIS datasets before they create downstream problems.
Includes review of up to five GIS layers and a concise QA findings report. Cleanup is scoped separately.
DECISION SUPPORT
Analysis that turns location data into clear constraints, opportunities, and measurable results.
REUSABLE TOOLS
Give users a clean input form and let the tool handle processing, validation, progress messages, outputs, and documentation.
Simple: $600–900 · Intermediate: $1,000–2,000 · Advanced: $2,000–5,000+
PUBLIC DATA INTEGRATION
Convert a study area into a project-ready data package by locating authoritative sources, downloading relevant data, clipping to the area of interest, standardizing outputs, and recording provenance.
PROVEN APPROACH
My development work combines spatial reasoning, business-rule implementation, production QA/QC, clear documentation, and tools designed for the people who actually use them.
Converted a repetitive feature-editing workflow into a standardized geoprocessing process that improved speed and consistency.
Reduced multi-hour, high-volume map-series production to a repeatable automated workflow with structured outputs and QA checks.
Redesigned a processing-heavy visibility analysis through observer strategies, DEM testing, distance optimization, and reusable ArcGIS tooling.
Built an ArcGIS Pro toolbox that connects to public services, handles large REST and raster requests, standardizes outputs, and records source and QA information.
Designed workflows for identifiers, schema consistency, geometry, required fields, duplicates, pre/post comparisons, logging, and cross-system reconciliation.
Translate spatial methods into the decision supported, the assumptions involved, the limitations that matter, and the next action.
HOW I WORK
Every engagement is scoped around the workflow and its risks, then tested against defined success criteria before delivery.
Users, inputs, outputs, rules, frequency, data volume, constraints, and success criteria.
Choose the right GIS architecture, processing steps, error handling, and QA strategy.
Prototype, develop, validate edge cases, compare outputs, and incorporate feedback.
Provide the solution, documentation, input/output definitions, and maintenance guidance.
ENGAGEMENT OPTIONS
Fixed-price work is usually best when the inputs, outputs, and success criteria are clear. Hourly consulting is available for evolving requirements, troubleshooting, and advisory work.
Data cleanup, analysis, production support, QA/QC, and standard geoprocessing.
Python/ArcPy workflow engineering, complex batch processing, and integration work.
Solution design, advanced tool development, architecture, and high-impact advisory work.
All ranges are starting estimates. Final pricing depends on data condition, complexity, software access, turnaround time, testing needs, documentation, and revision scope.
