GIS Analyst III · City of San Diego
Geospatial data, from intake to enterprise.
I run enterprise GIS for the City's Transportation department — maintaining the data that powers streets, sidewalks, and signals, coordinating integrations between Esri products and asset-management systems, and writing the Python, SOPs, and intake workflows that keep it all in production.
01 About
I'm a GIS Analyst based in San Diego who enjoys the parts of the job that sit between the map and the business — schema design, system integrations, data governance, and the SOPs that make a team's output repeatable. I work across the full Esri stack (ArcGIS Pro, Portal, AGOL) on SQL Server enterprise geodatabases, and I automate the routine with Python/ArcPy, ModelBuilder, and Arcade.
Most of my day-to-day is coordination — with asset-management stakeholders, consultants, and field teams — translating field needs into data, and data into the reports and dashboards that leadership actually uses.
I also make routine use of generative AI (Claude, ChatGPT) for coding, GitHub workflows, and technical documentation — useful for the plumbing, but not a substitute for the spatial thinking.
02 Experience
-
GIS Analyst III — City of San Diego, Transportation
- Maintain and build out enterprise datasets for streets, sidewalks, curb ramps, lights, signals, signs, and more — plus the hosted layers, web apps, and dashboards across Portal and AGOL that staff use daily.
- Coordinate schema changes and deployments with asset-management stakeholders, consultants, and integration partners; hold schedules, communicate with owners, and track issues through resolution.
- Draft, submit, review, and approve enhancement/update demands; run UAT and QA in test environments and stage data before production deployment.
- Author integration standards between GIS and asset-management platforms — field/term mappings, export specs, sync schedules — and record short walk-throughs so the team can self-serve.
- Built a Smartsheet intake for Engineering & Asset Management: form-based request capture, auto-assignment to GIS staff, status updates to requesters, and progress tracking against department goals.
- Write SOPs for as-built intake, digitization, metadata, publishing, and UAT; checklists and templates are now in use across the team.
- Automate recurring digitization, metadata updates, and UAT prep with ModelBuilder and Python.
- Coordinating consolidation of as-built intake with ECP and DSD, and improving data exchange between the City and SanGIS.
-
GIS Analyst II — City of San Diego, Stormwater
- Managed GIS infrastructure for the Stormwater Department — asset inventory, data collection, and analysis — and developed workflows the asset-management team relies on for routine updates.
- Ran versioned editing and sync across Stormwater enterprise datasets; reviewed vendor deliverables and documentation; standardized models and scripts.
- Built web apps and dashboards that gave departments and consultants direct visibility into asset data — identifying where GIS could improve business processes and decision-making.
-
Location Intelligence Analyst — GHD
- Produced GIS figures and spatial analysis for government projects including city/county General Plan Updates and Active Transportation Plans.
- Sourced authoritative datasets and created client-specific web maps using AGOL and Enterprise Portal; managed project access and converted varied inputs including shapefiles and CAD drawings.
- Designed custom geoprocessing tools with ModelBuilder and ArcPy; used Arcade and SQL for advanced data queries inside web apps.
- Contributed to internal best-practice guidelines compliant with ISO 19115; streamlined field-data collection and integrated online data sources into the Enterprise Portal for broader organizational access.
-
Natural Resource Management Technician (GIS) — City of San Diego, Parks & Recreation
- Built geospatial solutions with the Open Space Division — Field Maps, Survey123, and Collector applications supporting biologists and rangers in the field.
- Monitored vernal pools and surveyed sensitive plant species with Survey123 / Field Maps; mapped trails and encroachments with GPS devices; updated aerial imagery and vector layers for ranger web maps.
- Transitioned legacy Survey123 forms to Field Maps with Smart Forms, including the application rangers used to track encampments and land impact.
- Supported migration of city GIS content from ArcGIS Online to Enterprise Portal; published field data to the city's GIS portal; enforced regional datum and metadata standards.
- Developed ModelBuilder and Python toolsets for repetitive geoprocessing and post-survey QA/QC.
-
GIS Technician — Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc.
- Maintained Pavement Management Program (PMP) data through in-person and virtual roadway surveys, condition assessments, and analysis with geospatial tools.
- Collected field data with ESRI (Collector / Field Maps) and QGIS (QField); built and maintained geodatabases of streets, right-of-way, and utility assets.
- Supported local-agency infrastructure management and USACE pavement surveys; produced maps, graphs, and reports that fed directly into client deliverables.
- Digitized engineering and CAD files into spatial formats; designed and updated databases applying spatial-feature modeling fundamentals.
-
GIS Lab Assistant — Palomar College
- Coordinated with Earth, Space & Environmental Sciences (ESES) laboratory and classroom activities; assisted faculty with GIS and drone projects, special events, and data procurement.
- Managed drones and associated software for data-collection activities; tutored college students in GIS and geography coursework.
