GIS Analyst Houston, TX

I can honestly say that I never say no to a challenge and have spent my career rising too them. This drive to succeed has led to me acquiring a great diversity of skill sets in a relatively short amount of time. During my assignment with The Response Group I was participating in the cleanup efforts in the Gulf of Mexico related to the BP oil spill. I was a GIS Deployment Specialist providing support and training to our field GIS analysts at the various forward operating bases and integrating all data needs between the nine forward operating bases, Incident Command Centers in Houston, TX; Mobile, AL; and our command base in Houma, LA. The Deployment Specialists had to insure data integrity and formatting congruity for all data deliveries and taking responsibility for that delivered data in order to load it into web applications that we developed to support disaster relief efforts in the gulf. My current contract is with BNSF railroad working on a multi-year project collecting field data to integrate and automated tracking and control system which will be utilized nationally via federal mandate. I have 10 years of experience in the GIS field which ranges from traditional oil and gas lease mapping too more specialized fields such as spatial data analysis for AT&T's business and consumer marketing groups utilizing both Arc 9.3 and MapInfo and Teleatlas data as well as Nielsen demographic data for sales campaigns. I have also been involved with GIS analysis for wind based energy development and have worked for a civil engineering firm providing support for engineers preparing reports and thematic maps for local, state and federal permits for multiple types of land development projects. I am always looking to expand on my skill sets further and I will bring this skill library to bear in this position adding my strengths to all projects I am involved in. I never stop building on my skill sets and as an example of that I am currently enrolled in the University of Phoenix perusing my BS in computer science with a focus on software development and programming in multiple platforms ranging from Python to C# and .Net development which will only increase the range of services I can provide you.
