GIS & Geospatial Systems
WebGIS applications, spatial data and map-based field tools that connect location data to real workflows, from an engineer who has built GIS software since 2006.
What I build
The value of a map comes from the system behind it: the data model, the spatial queries, the workflows that use location, and the apps people carry into the field. I approach GIS as backend and architecture work first.
Browser-based GIS for municipal services and emergency response, including damage and aid estimation and nearest-facility analysis.
Spatial queries and stored procedures in SQL Server, PostgreSQL synchronization, and property maps tied to business workflows.
Android and Kotlin apps with offline maps, tracking and photo or video capture; offline tile caching with MapProxy.
ArcGIS plugins with Oracle synchronization, ArcEngine vehicle tracking, and AutoCAD automation for land-parcel boundaries.
Experience
Projects where I worked on the same kind of problem.
Contributed to a disaster-response WebGIS for a national humanitarian relief organization, supporting earthquake damage estimates, aid-requirement estimates and identification of the nearest help stations.
Read the case study 2012 – 2015Two separate projects for two different employers, solving a similar problem: WebGIS and Android sales-management tools (2012–2013), then leading an ASP.NET MVC sales-assistance application with tracking, spatial queries and a mobile API (2014–2015).
Read the case study 2017 – 2024Delivered a citizen-facing municipal services portal and Building Violation Commission software, covering online payments, request workflows, property maps, financial calculations, reporting and digital signatures.

How to start
Every engagement starts small and ends with written outputs. Software engineering with spatial data, not surveying or cartographic production.
For a new product or major capability, before serious development starts: clear system boundaries and an implementation direction.
Not included Full implementation, UI design and infrastructure provisioning.
Ask about system designFor a team with a running system, often on .NET, that is unsure about its structure or where to take it next: what to improve, what to keep, and where to start.
Not included Executing the full migration or refactoring, which can follow as a separate engagement.
Ask about a reviewFor slow responses, recurring errors or failing background processing, investigated before committing to a major rewrite.
Not included Ongoing production support or 24/7 on-call.
Ask about an assessmentScope, duration and pricing are agreed after a first conversation, once the problem is clear.
FAQ
Yes. I have built and contributed to WebGIS applications for municipal platforms, emergency response and sales distribution, using ASP.NET, Django and PostgreSQL.
Yes. On a municipal platform I optimized SQL Server spatial queries, stored procedures and triggers, and tied requests and cases to property maps.
Yes. I have built Android apps with offline maps for city data collection, and offline tile caching with MapProxy.
Yes. I have developed ArcGIS plugins synchronized with an Oracle database and ArcEngine-based Windows applications for vehicle tracking.
