I am a proud GIS Professional with over 9+ years of work experience in various sectors:
- NGO | Disaster service and planning with the Red Cross
- Tech | Apple contractor as a data/GIS analyst for the Apple Maps team
- Local Government | GIS Specialist for LASAN

I specialize in developing automated workflows using Python, deploying ESRI based applications for operational field staff, and analyzing spatial data to provide data driven solutions to operational problems. Recently, I have also been diving into open source computer vision technologies, and how they can be integrated into GIS systems to create automated data collection systems.

Since being a tutor on Wyzant, I have had the joy of teaching students who come from a wide range of backgrounds, from college students overcoming learning disabilities, to mid level executives trying to learn new work skills. As a tutor, these experiences have taught me how to create custom tailored sessions for all of my students based on their needs and goals.

GIS

As a GIS Professional I have worked in both the Tech field and NGO/Non-Profit sector. I was fortunate to work as a contracted GIS Technician for Apple where I was part of the Apple Maps Department. Before my time at Apple I did GIS work for the American Red Cross where I assisted with mapping and data analysis in both local and national disasters. Over 3 years I have used GIS to analyze and map various data sets, created python scripts for data scrubbing, formatting, and back end work automation, and written customized GIS training documentation for all of my clients.

Great GIS Teacher

Would recommend Patrick for help with GIS. He was a very helpful and patient tutor to my son who had Asperger’s.

Excellent Teacher - Extremely Knowledgeable

I am a mid-career executive who wanted to learn about GIS. I have very limited background in this field and in a matter of a week I was able to build great visualization maps with great data layers. Patrick is amazing in terms of his practical knowledge, patience and is very easy to work with. Patrick is very patient and extremely talented.
