Support spatial editing workflows for harvesting, regeneration, dispositions, casualty loss, exclusion areas, acreage tracking, leases, inspections, and field operations.

Develop or support growth-and-yield modeling, forest-inventory analysis, spatial joins, overlays, and other geospatial analytics used in harvest planning and investment decisions.

Ensure spatial-data integrity and consistency across ArcGIS, enterprise geodatabases, integrated applications, and downstream reporting platforms through validation, verification, and reconciliation controls.

Write and optimize spatial SQL queries for Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL Managed Instance, including enterprise geodatabase administration, spatial indexing, reporting, migration, and domain management.

Develop and support big-data geospatial workflows using Databricks, PySpark, GeoPandas, Databricks Mosaic, ADLS Gen2, Delta Lake, and Parquet where applicable.

Develop solutions for mobile and offline field-data collection using ArcGIS Field Maps, Survey123, Collector, and custom field applications.
