Selected Software Project Experience
• GIS Discovery, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA. Developed geospatial discovery, delivery, and
metadata infrastructure for Stanford patrons to use spatial research data (Ruby, XML, Solr, Oracle,
ArcGIS, PostGIS).
• Ocean Health Index, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA. Analyzed scientific geospatial
data to generate a statistical index of coastal and ocean environmental health (Python, ArcGIS,
PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GRASS, R).
• GIS Research, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA. Analyzed geospatial data from
Wikipedia to generate statistical models for the spatial distributions of authors and points of interest
articles (Python, ArcGIS, MySQL, R).
• Distributed Product Database, Affinia, Inc., Denver, CO. Developed a large scale database of
products that were for sale via online retailers (Java, Oracle, PL/SQL).
• Compass Server, Netscape Communications Corp., Mountain View, CA. Developed search and
knowledge management products for corporate intranets (C, Perl, Verity).
• Distributed Search and Caching Infrastructures, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO. Developed
distributed search and caching infrastructures for the Internet (C, Perl), both as a student and as a
professional researcher.
