Andrew has more than 12 years experience in the field of geographic
information systems (GIS), much of it in the academic/research
environment. He has worked, in both a contractual and full-time
capacity, on a wide variety of challenging projects in many
types of environments. In addition to his familiarity with
many GIS tools, remote sensing, and related technolgies, he
has experience in object-oriented programming in various languages,
design and implementation of websites with DHTML (in particular
web-based mapping using ArcIMS), database creation/management.
His interests include environmental studies and natural-resource
management, as well as land-use planning issues as they relate
to preservation, sustainability, and liveability.
After graduating from the University, Andrew
worked for the City of Wilmington as a Planning and a Historic
Preservation intern. In graduate school he TA'd many courses
in Cultural, Historical, and Econominc Geography. His GIS
experience begain when he interned for the Water Resources
Agency (WRA), then part of New Castle County, working with
Dave Racca under Bernie Dworsky. In 1993 he moved to Georgia,
where he served as a research assistant in the Geography Department
(in GIS and Remote Sensing) and worked on various projects
at the Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science (CRMS).
While at the CRMS, he worked with a team of researchers on
such projects as the mapping of the vegetation of the Everglades
National Park (which comprises over a million acres) and the
Great Smokey Mountain National Park. Additionally, he assisted
in the teaching of many GIS/Remote Sensing short courses offered
by the CRMS.
In 2000, he moved to the Washington, D.C.,
area, where he was a GIS contractor with NOAA's National Geodetic
Survey (NGS), specializing in national shoreline mapping.
Having recently moved back to this area, he has provided GIS
and Remote Sensing services to groups including The Nature
Conservancy and the College of Marine Studies' Center for
Remote Sensing, largely in the wetlands mapping arena. He
came on part time with WRA in June, 2003, and took a fulltime
position in the GIS services group under Vern
Svatos in October of the same year.
