GIS Developer | 15+ Years Building Geospatial Systems that Reduce Costs and Scale Operations. Most businesses collect location data but don't fully leverage it. I build geospatial solutions that turn location data into smarter decisions, streamlined operations, and measurable business results: - Interactive web maps and GIS dashboards - Route optimization and fleet management systems - Real-time asset tracking and monitoring platforms - Spatial analysis and decision-support solutions 💡 I don’t just write code. I focus on solving business problems by leveraging geospatial data to drive smarter decisions, reduce costs, and scale operations. 🚀 Track record: ✔ 15+ years as GIS developer & full-stack developmer ✔ 13,700+ hours worked ✔ 120+ milestones completed ✔ 90+ successful projects ✔ 55+ satisfied clients 🏆 Key achievements: ✔ Developed a Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) platform with GIS features that helped the client win contracts and grow revenue by more than 30 times ✔ Built a GIS tool that reduced the duration of the land property development potential assessment by more than 1000 times (from days to seconds). ✔ Developed a service for automatic scheduling and routing shared rides, which increased the fleet capacity by more than 20%. These are examples of how GIS can create a measurable business impact. 🌐 Industries I serve: - 🚚 Logistics - 🚑 Healthcare & NEMT (Non-Emergency Medical Transportation) - 🏡 Real Estate & PropTech - 🌳 Environmental Monitoring & Sustainability - and beyond. 🛠️ My GIS developer services - GIS consulting and discovery - Proof of concept for GIS solutions - Web GIS development - Mobile GIS development - Geospatial analysis - Object detection and recognition on satellite imagery 🤝 How I work Every project starts with understanding your business processes and goals. This allows me to design a solution that solves the actual problem. My development process is iterative and usually consists of the following stages: - Discovery: Analysis and specification of your business needs, project goals, data, and requirements; UI/UX design; high-level architecture design; cost estimation; and development planning - Implementation - Testing - Delivery After each iteration (typically 1–2 weeks), I provide a demo of completed features and incorporate your feedback. This approach reduces risks, improves transparency, and ensures we stay aligned with your goals. To improve quality, accelerate development, and reduce costs, I often involve other specialists from our team, such as a Business Analyst, a QA Engineer, a DevOps Engineer, and a Data Analyst. I also use AI tools to accelerate writing code. 🌐 Industry experience 🚚 Logistics & Healthcare Transportation ✔ Transportation request booking and management platforms ✔ Fleet management systems ✔ Route optimization ✔ Dispatch automation: Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP), Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP) ✔ Cost optimization for Google Maps API ✔ GPS and ETA tracking ✔ Geofencing ✔ API integration with dispatch software ✔ Billing (EDI 837, 835) and payment processing 🏡 Real Estate & PropTech ✔ Integration of geospatial data from multiple sources ✔ Multi-layer map visualization (zones, cadastral data, infrastructure, etc.) ✔ Site selection and suitability analysis tools ✔ Automated geospatial reporting 🌳 Environmental Monitoring & Sustainability ✔ Map-based inventory management systems ✔ Satellite imagery processing and analysis ✔ Object recognition on aerial and satellite imagery using AI/ML ✔ Spatial analytics and decision-support tools ⚙️ Core skills ✔ GIS & Mapping: Mapbox, Leaflet, OpenLayers, Google Maps API, ArcGIS, OSM, OSRM, PostGIS ✔ Frontend: JavaScript, Vue.js, React ✔ Backend: Python, Node.js, PHP (Laravel, CodeIgniter), C# ✔ Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL ✔ Other: AWS, Docker, API Integration, AI/ML, OpenCV, Data Scraping Other experience and skills: ✔ Development of ArcGIS (ArcMap, ArcGIS Server) extensions and tools ✔ Building GIS components that can be used in both desktop and web environments (ArcMap, ArcGIS Engine Runtime, ArcGIS Server based web applications) ✔ Implementation of fast boolean operations on large polygon sets (10+ millions) ✔ GIS Specialist ✔ GIS Developer ✔ Web GIS Developer ✔ Interactive Map Development ✔ GIS mapping ✔ Web mapping application developer ✔ Mapbox developer ✔ Mobile application developer ✔ Database architecture design ✔ Data analysis ✔ SaaS developer ✔ Logistics supply chain software developer ✔ Supply chain management system ✔ Transportation Management System ✔ TMS software developer ✔ Trucking logistics software developer ✔ Freight management system ✔ NEMT software developer ✔ Booking Management System ✔ Dispatch software developer 👉 Let’s discuss your goals, challenges, or ideas and explore how geospatial technology can help your business grow.
