PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Lead GIS Technician Section Leader Feb 2023 – Feb 2025

U.S. Army – Camp Casey, South Korea

•Led site-level geospatial analysis for all U.S. forces in South Korea, producing hundreds of GIS products used to evaluate terrain, infrastructure corridors, and operational constraints for mission planning.

•Mapped and assessed transmission infrastructure, road networks, and utility pathways using ortho-rectified satellite imagery and ArcGIS — directly analogous to powered land and data center site screening workflows.

•Designed ArcGIS models to automate spatial data processing pipelines, improving production efficiency and enabling faster delivery of site analysis outputs.

•Executed data conversion, migration, and attribute correction for geographic product development, maintaining data integrity across classified and unclassified environments.

•Analyzed customer requirements and developed standard operating procedures to ensure reliable, structured, repeatable workflows — a core discipline in high-volume advisory practices.

•Trained and mentored junior analysts; performed QA/QC on all team-produced geospatial products before delivery to command leadership.

Geospatial Engineer GEOINT Analyst Feb 2018 – Feb 2023

U.S. Army – Fort Bragg, NC

•Provided geospatial intelligence support for division-level research projects, synthesizing terrain, infrastructure, and network data into clear spatial products for senior commanders.

•Produced data layers, maps, tables, and reports using GIS spatial analysis — including infrastructure mapping involving roads, utilities, and physical terrain that inform the same site screening criteria used in data center site evaluation.

•Served as battalion-level Subject Matter Expert for all geospatial analysis, advising leadership on new technology and methodology; represented unit at Joint Chiefs of Staff exercises and Combined Command Post Trainings.

•Led a geospatial intelligence collection and dissemination team, building common operating pictures and terrain visualizations that enabled planners to rapidly assess site suitability and infrastructure capacity.

•Managed large volumes of raster and vector data on both unclassified and classified systems, ensuring organized, accessible records across complex multi-project environments.

•Demonstrated strong decision-making and technical leadership in high-pressure operational settings with short timelines and ambiguous requirements.
