About
I build geospatial solutions using GIS, Python, and AWS. At Systrans, I deployed CAD/AVL systems with real-time GPS tracking and map based dispatching for transit agencies. At Greater Lynchburg Transit Company, I developed AskGLTC, an NLP model integrating GIS APIs and GTFS data. This was the predecessor to the AskLynchburg information assistant which was acquired and scaled internationally.
In my spare time, I enjoy chess, Kaggle competitions and spending time with family.
