| | | | Other Information | | I have worked for over four years in the GIS field. My experience working for different companies and with various mapping/drafting and programming applications has led me down many different career paths. However, I enjoy learning new applications and advanced programs, as well as using my existing skills to answer difficult business problems while creating new tools that help aid me and others to make important business decisions. I believe that people can more easily understand or comprehend something that is portrayed visually. Maps or visual representations of data allow other employees to not only physically see the results of the data, but many times process allows the individual or group to generate a much bigger picture of what is actually happening within the data presented than through long exhausting excel spreadsheets. While spreadsheets are a necessary tool in business and will always be, it is also an incredibly powerful business tool if someone can actually display this visually to others and in most of my experience people gain a much better overall understanding what this is actually occurring and what options are available based on this! Most of the companies I have worked for use different products and programs to accomplish this, and yet while the programs vary, I have always enjoyed expanding my knowledge and have no problem learning something new. This is not only a practical thing to do in this field, but also an enjoyable one for me as well! I work in this field because I enjoy solving complex problems, and creating my new and more efficient programs or applications that can either streamline current processes or create more efficient ones. This field allows me to use what knowledge and experience I have in programming, drafting, and GIS and to combine them all to achieve precise and accurate answers to real life problems! | | | Keywords: | ArcGIS, ArcIMS, ArcInfo, ArcView, MS SQL Server, Oracle | |
