Primary duty is to act as a GIS resource for other departments. Created a recolor tool in ArcMap using VBA, ArcObjects and the Windows API to easily match graphics symbols in the legend with layers that use transparencies. Created a file geodatabase and digitized features for Parks and Rec asset management. Created a personal geodatabase and digitized Code Enforcement boundaries. Semiannually, download aerial photos from the County via FTP, mosaic and load them to an ArcSDE raster catalog.

Primarily responsible for GIS data conversion of water and sewer infrastructure. Performed GIS analysis, map generation, GPS surveys and other projects as assigned.

GIS Data Conversion
Digitized water and sewer infrastructure GIS data layers from approved engineering drawings using ArcGIS Desktop 9.1. Scanned utility drawing sheets were georeferenced in ArcGIS Desktop 9.1 and water and sewer infrastructure were digitized as feature classes into a personal Geodatabase. Developed custom tools to help in the data conversion using ArcObjects and VBA. These tools helped improve the data conversion process efficiency.

GIS Analysis & GPS Surveys
Used spatial analyses to auto populate type attribute values of water valves. Helped locate utility assets such as Hydrants, Water Valves, Water Meters and Sewer Manholes using Trimble 5800 GPS receiver and TSC2 data collectors. Maintained the GPS equipment (charging, etc.), so they were ready for use everyday.

Maps/Exhibits
Generated maps requested by Department staff using ArcGIS Desktop. Maps adhered to Department Cartography standards. Also utilized PDF-Tools and Excel to help automate generation of links to other files from a PDF index map.

Interlocal and Refunding Agreements Project
Project involved tracking inter-local and refunding agreements using GIS. Reviewed contract documents, delineating and digitizing agreement areas as outlined in the contract documents. Contract details were tracked in an Access Database and linked to GIS data (feature classes in a personal Geodatabase).

Primary duties were to scan engineering drawings, digitize water features from scanned drawings using AutoCAD, attribute the features, and check and correct data in both digital and paper format. Set up queries on the Oracle Database to assist in quality control.

Conduct inventories, quickly and accurately, for a wide range of businesses

Diagnose and repair PC related problems. Upgrade PC hardware and software. Develop and maintain web sites using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Write software to solve geophysical problems.

Organize schedule and supervise the collection of geophysical data; then process, interpret, and report on the findings. Wrote software as necessary to assist in the processing, plotting and interpretation of the data.
